I (@aging_scientist) had a marvelous conversation with Assoc. Prof. Viktor Korolchuk (@VIKorolchuk) about autophagy, mitochondria, senescence, the importance of modelling, and human desire for radical lifespan extension.

Welcome back Vitalians! In recent years, autophagy has emerged as an important topic in the field of aging biology and is now considered a major Hallmark of Aging.

Early this year, VitaDAO announced a $4.1 million fundraising round, that included strategic members and longevity enthusiasts such as Pfizer Ventures, Shine Capital, L1 Digital, Beaker DAO, Balaji Srinivasan, and Joe Betts-LaCroix.

In this podcast, I (@aging_scientist) spoke with Dr. Rich Miller about the ins and outs of mouse aging.
