And what if longevity wasn’t just about “not dying”, but about living better for the ones you love?In this episode of the Molecule Podcast, we dive deep with Jillian and Benji, the team behind Pump Science, a protocol that combines crypto markets with open scientific experimentation to find real longevity compounds. But this episode isn’t just technical. It’s deeply human.From bonding curves and tokenomics to holding your child longer, this is what decentralized science looks like when purpose meets protocol.We cover:* The emotional “why” behind longevity research* How crypto markets fund real scientific experiments* Testing pipeline: from worms to flies to mice to humans* The design of the Pump Science game, and how it rewards curiosity* How you can submit your own idea for a longevity compound* What’s next for Pump ScienceThis is more than a podcast, it’s a thesis on how the future of health could be fun, fair, and radically open.—Timestamps:0:00 – Intro: Do you want to live for tomorrow?1:45 – A mother’s promise: holding her son longer5:35 – Longevity as emotional responsibility8:12 – Why crypto is the only viable engine10:10 – Pump Science protocol explained from first principles14:42 – Launching a compound via bonding curve17:55 – Who are the players?
