The latest episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast is all about the aging process and how to slow, halt or reverse it. My guest is Dr. David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School.

We discuss:

• Epigenetics.
• Fasting, breaking fasts.
• Nutrition, artificial sweeteners.
• How puberty impacts aging.
• Resveratrol, caffeine, electrolytes.
• NAD, NMN, Metformin, Berberine.
• Specific supplementation protocols.

A team of security researchers at Avanan is reporting that hackers are taking advantage of a Google Docs security vulnerability—one that takes advantage of a comment feature. They are claiming that they saw hackers using the vulnerability to target 500 inboxes of 30 Outlook users involving over 100 individual email accounts.

The team at Avanan claims that they found an earlier exploit in Google Docs last June—one that allowed hackers to send phishing links to users. Then, this past October, they discovered that hackers had found another way to send phishing links to unsuspecting users, using the comment feature. They further claim that the vulnerability was not fixed by Google and because of that they began seeing hackers taking advantage of the vulnerability last month.

The hacking approach is both simple and straightforward—a hacker creates a Google Docs document and adds comments to it that include an @ symbol followed by an email address. The symbol automatically alerts the system to send an email to the person designated in the email address—the email that is sent has phishing links in it, sending the user to a webpage that could lead to malicious code.

Scientist studying the reason why no antimatter is observed in the universe have uncovered a mystery in their data. While some particles decay in a manner that favors matter, other particles do not. Current theory cannot explain this discrepancy.

Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a drone whose hinged arms can fold themselves from horizontal to vertical position in order to pass through tight spaces or carry light objects.

Previous limb-adjusting vehicles created by labs like Purdue University’s Engineering Technology school were outfitted with actuators that shifted the arms and rotors into different positions, making them more efficient in certain conditions like heavy winds. The HiPeRLab staff wanted to avoid inclusion of actuators, which draw off the drone’s batteries and thereby reduce its flight time. Their solution: use passive hinges whose up and down folding is powered by the rotors themselves.

1969, the Luna 15 lander was crashing into the other side of the moon. It is a story the Soviets did not want the world to know…
