I wonder if the term "geroscience" would be better than "longevity." "Longevity" has been adopted by quacks and grifters and is also used in many different ways. "Geroscience" might be reserved for more narrow use of research on aging biology and associated clinical trials.

This is encouraging and shows why medical research targeting aging biology to impact age-related health decline is only growing in importance. Tyler Cowen, Richard Evans, and other economists recently helped produced this interactive on ROI of R&D in Geroscience: silverlinings.bio?chapter=abou...

Too true. HHS is the largest health organization in the world and should be headed by someone who adheres to science-based medicine rather than quackery and conspiracy-theory thinking.

PA indeed has an impressive biotech/pharma scene. There are high-profile startups/firms with a focus on age-related illness, like LyGenesis aiming for organ regeneration and Annovis Bio targeting neurodegeneration. Both are running clinical trials. Fostering these ecosystems is critically important.

Call on your house representatives to support a FY2026 budget bill that would preserve funding for NIH at the Senate Appropriations Committee approved level of $48.7B and adopt Senate language prohibiting a cap on indirect costs and limiting multi-year funded grants to levels consistent with FY2024

We absolutely do know that Waymos are safer than human drivers

Trans-NIH Geroscience Interest Group (GSIG)
GSIG is a collaborative framework to enhance opportunities to explore the intersection between aging biology and the biology of diseases.
Thank you for trying to positively influence HHS. Relatedly, funding for geroscience within NIH and NIA is critical to make progress against Parkinson's and other age-related diseases by researching aspects of aging biology that contribute to their development:

Do we have a useful aging clock?
13 years after the first 'aging clock' was published we're still measuring mouse lifespan and unable to run human aging trials. What's missing?
Essay by @martinbjensen.bsky.social on limitations of current aging clocks on metrics (accuracy, responsiveness, interpretability, stability, applicability, cost) in various intended uses (R&D, consumer health, clinical trials, FDA approval, medical care).

Does British Parliament have something similar to caucuses of the US House of Representatives? Four member of the Longevity Science Caucus are on Bluesky btw:

Meme coins. They've been around for some time, but 2025 saw the president and first lady each launch their own, showcasing a pump and dump and subsequent backchannel for bribes and corruption.

I am preparing MIT Technology Review's infamous list of "worst" technologies of the year.
What are 2025's biggest failures, set backs, and misfires but which also hold useful lessons about technology?
I think Cybertruck has to be on the list. Tell me your picks in the replies👇!!

The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales Is Staying the Course.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

I'm also anxious about proposals for the ARPA-H budget. I hope PROSPR and FRONT will be protected, and there are numerous exciting programs like THEA, NITRO, and others.
