Every day, new innovations in technology and aging make the news. Whether it’s the way the science of epigenetics is redefining how and why we age or how big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence are taking the customer experience to the next level. This is where I share the disruptive new inventions that are helping us to live longer, healthier lives.
A New Epoch of Human Health and Wellness
Understanding we have entered a new epoch in understanding biology is critical. In 2019, I had a front seat into how patterns of DNA methylation at over 800,000 CpG sites along the human epigenome could be correlated to 131 traditional clinical assays used to assess individual health and wellness in 1,100 individuals. Understanding how new […]

This is an incredible time to be alive, to watch history unfold, to see science at work, and to observe significant changes occurring before our eyes. Normally history is hardly noticeable, visible only to academics […]

Finding Connections & Limits
We hear it all the time: “there are no limits,” and “everything is connected.” Well…it turns out that there are limits and, as far as I can tell, everything is connected. Last weekend connected a number of fascinating current event topics that are of great interest to me: aging, virology, vaccines, and truth in government. […]

Creating Three Headed Planaria Flatworms w/o Genetic Alteration
Bioelectric Man Are you ready to have your mind blown? Thanks to the recent post by Josh Mittledorf, I became aware of a recent lecture presentation given by Prof. Michael Levin (Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University) about his research into the bioelectric mechanisms that establish a whole new realm of biological determinism. This science […]
