Talking genetics, aging, and the brain at beautiful Coimbra, Portugal.

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s remain devastating and without treatment. How can we harness advances in longevity drugs and cellular rejuvenation to develop new therapies?

Had a fantastic time speaking at the NEXii Longevity Congress 2025 in my hometown of Porto!

Grateful to be part of this conference exploring how longer, healthier lives will reshape our future.

Big thanks to the organizers and everyone involved 🙏

Dark Prague was the perfect place to talk about longevity and fighting aging.

Aging isn’t natural. It’s legacy code. A software design flaw. And we’re learning how to rewrite it.

On this Longevity Day, I questioned the field’s focus on healthspan, argued we need to be more creative and ambitious, and suggested that aging is driven not by molecular damage but by genetic programs.

Had fun at TransVision 2025 in Madrid, though I may not have made many friends 😀

It was brilliant to attend the Longevity Investors conference in stunning Gstaad 🇨🇭

Everyone is aging, and age-related diseases are the major causes of mortality worldwide, yet investment in aging and longevity tech is still small. How can we increase it?

A terrific @gimmfoundation.bsky.social Festival in Lisbon.

It was great to debate how to build a unifying theory of aging.

Did an interview for a longevity documentary and took the opportunity to play scientist for the day 😀

I had a wonderful time in my hometown of Porto for my first conference on the history, philosophy, and social studies of biology. Grateful for the insights and conversations with biologists, philosophers, and other experts. Left with plenty to ponder about the nature and evolution of ageing.
