Nature vs. Nurture with Uri Alon

For our very first episode we caught up with Professor Uri Alon from the Weizmann Institute of Science to discuss his new answer to the age old question: when it comes to lifespan, is it nature or nurture? Presented by Dr. Asya Martirosyan and Dr. Jessica Foley, on behalf of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research. Recorded live from the Academy's 2026 Conference, audio quality will improve in future episodes.Read Uri's paper, published in the journal Science, here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adz1187 For more information about the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research: https://www.ahlresearch.org/
