How to extend life - and where the science stands

from It Turns Out

What do scientists know about how to live longer - and maximize the number of years that you're healthy? Princeton molecular biologist Coleen Murphy explains what you can do now, which pharmaceutical is having an unexpected effect on longevity, and why the next few years are so promising. Murphy also talks about the science of predicting how long we'll live. But she has deep concerns about the Trump administration's cuts to the National Institutes of Health, and how those cuts will set back longevity research. Which may mean that the next big breakthrough comes from China.Did you know you can also watch the show? Subscribe to the show on YouTube!Sign up for our Substack!
