“Reveals incredible scientific breakthroughs about aging and ways we can slow down, or even reverse, the process.”↗
Jason Fried
“Sinclair’s a brilliant guy (highly recommend his book “Lifespan”). Nice to see him chiming in on COVID-19. This ~12 min sobering video is worth a watch.”↗
Peter Diamandis
“If you haven’t read Lifespan by @davidasinclair of @Harvard Medical School (I strongly recommend it), he gives a host of compelling evidence to show there is no reason people born today cannot live to at least 120 in healthy condition, if not 150 and beyond.”↗
Rhonda Patrick
“"The caloric restriction mimetic resveratrol has become well-known as one of the many contributions of @davidasinclair to the aging field. This a great moment to mention his new book, “Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To,” that just came out! https://t.co/s9wXnq3Pwh"”↗
Seth MacFarlane
“This was a really cool, fun, thoughtful read - part hard science, part speculative analysis, this book by @davidasinclair needs more eyeballs on it. Right up your philosophical alley if you’re an Orville fan.”↗
Alexander Stubb
“Listened to Lifespan by @davidasinclair with Matthew LaPlane. Excellent book. Full of science, ethics, policy and life. Fits well with @WalterIsaacson Biography on @doudna_lab. A strong recommendation. Biotech is not only the future, it is here with us.”↗
Scott Barry Kaufman
“David’s book on why we age and the latest science of longevity is so fascinating and exciting.”↗
