October
Longer. Healthier. Better Symposium, Boston, USA, October 16th
Organised by life insurance company John Hancock and Manulife, the second Longer. Healthier. Better. Symposium brought together longevity and health leaders to discuss the latest breakthroughs—and I made the case for looking to the future of longevity science, as well as optimising what we can do with current medicine.
August
11th Aging Research and Drug Discovery Meeting, Copenhagen, Denmark, August 26th–30th
I spoke about ‘Longevity science, medicine and advocacy’, and I made the case that advocacy for longevity is key to unlocking the science, and thereby (hopefully!) longer, healthier lives with medicine.
