The people · the institutions
Friends in the field
On the road we kept meeting the people who actually keep this field moving. They opened their labs and their homes to us. Now we want to bring them to you properly: who they are, what they are working on, and how you can reach them — support them, work with them, or join them.
Longevity needs everyone. It needs the whole village.
This is just the start. What I would like this page to become is every institution that genuinely wants to move this field forward — each with a page of its own, so you can see who they are, reach them, support them, and help them grow.
Five is where we begin. If you are one of them, or you would like to be part of it, write to us.

How we met Eric — and where it could go
We sat with Eric Verdin at the Buck, and drove go-karts at Sonoma Raceway together. He became a friend, and wrote a line for the book.

Methuselah Foundation
Washington, with Dave & Dane Gobel
We met Dave and his son Dane in Washington, and went on to the Biomarkers of Aging conference together. A father-and-son foundation meeting a father-and-son film — the symmetry writes itself.

San Francisco · since 1986
Foresight Institute
Boston — with Allison Duettmann
Foresight has been backing the frontier since 1986 — grants, prizes and fellowships in the fields most funders still think are too early. Allison Duettmann told us that David Baker, who won Foresight’s Feynman Prize, went on to take the Nobel — the second Feynman winner to do so.

If you are working on longevity and you would like the hundred million people this film and book are aimed at to know you exist — write to us. Nothing here is bought and nothing is sold; we write about the people we actually met, and we would like to meet more of you.
