Part 3 in this video series on transhumanism. I talk about the #1 concern I hear about when advocating for overcoming death:
Presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan from the Transhumanist Party speaks to Ellie Zolfagharifard from DailyMail.com.
An interesting solution to testing combinations of compounds for longevity effects. As we move into implementing multiple approach therapies eg, SENS, which need several interventions we will need ways to measure their efficacy. Good to see people are thinking about this problem already.
Combination testing can it work? One of the MMTP collaborators Josh Mitteldorf suggests a way we might make it work.
This came up recently and it occurred I never posted this here. This is a lecture by Robert Bradbury, not not Ray Bradbury. I had the pleasure of exchanging a few emails with him. Unfortunately those emails are lost so I cannot share them. He was an advocate of life extension and he was a big thinker. I’ll post both vids and a link to the M-brain page. He is not with us anymore I regret to say. Ready?
Renown aging expert Robert Bradbury discusses whole genome engineering, evolution and aging and ways to defeat aging. His talk touches on many areas including nanotechnology, biology, and computer science.

Hydras, simple fresh-water animals, have the ability to live forever if kept in ideal conditions, a recent study shows.
The organisms are made mostly of stem cells that have the ability to continually divide, thus constantly renewing the body.
“The differentiated cells of the tentacles and the foot are constantly being pushed off the body and replaced with new cells migrating from the body column,” Daniel Martinez, a biologist at Pomona College, said in a statement.
Death is a disease.
Diseases can and will be cured.
Do the math. wink

Peter Thiel, Paypal founder and Facebook angel investor, explains in a beautiful 1-minute video the true purpose of our lives: to proactively fight aging and defeat death:
“The problem that I remain the most passionate about…fighting and aging and death… There is nothing more natural than for us to fight death.”
Quoted from Richard Dawkins’ book “Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder”.The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (Official)
I am really pleased to announce that our mouse longevity program has finally begun. We have submitted our proposal for funding to Longecity and shortly will begin fundraising so we can begin testing.
You may enjoy our brand new podcast where our project lead explains what the project is about and how we can help develop longevity interventions.

My new article for the International Business Times:
The US presidential candidate completes his three-month campaign aboard a coffin-shaped bus.
Isolated from the Comfrey plant, Allantoin is a popular ingredient in many skincare regimens. According to new research it may increase longevity by mimicking the benefits of calorie restriction.
Calorie restriction is a subject of debate within the longevity community, and on animal models success is variable. However, it remains one of the most proven ways of extending lifespan in many species, and molecules that mimic the effect at the molecular level have also been associated with protective effects — up-regulating repair and stress response mechanisms. One such molecule is resveratrol, which is responsible for the relatively recent red wine hype.
