We are not single entities operating in a single window of time. Rather, we’re a collection of entities operating at different times within a given space. Are decaying, aging, and dying truly scientifically predestined? And could there be a cure? With advances in biology and genetics, could scientists pause, or even reverse, the process? To learn more, PW Director of Sciences Janna Levin hosted two brilliant biologists in conversation: Prof. David Sinclair of Harvard—a researcher committed to aging in reverse—and Prof. Ali Brivanlou of Rockefeller University—an explorer of human embryonic stem cells, and impassioned defender of whiskey, cigarettes, and meat.
