The future of scientific research is here. Recently, I was fortunate to speak with @brian_armstrong & @joycesticks about @ResearchHub - a platform to upload/discuss science papers. Brian also shares details on @newlimit! --> youtube.com/watch?v=1FmhHLPr… #scicomm #AcademicYouTube

Researchers engineered an enzyme to reverse CML, an advanced glycation end product considered an irreversible marker of aging. In this video, I breakdown the findings and give my thoughts! youtu.be/fGjWaC5ZnPI

AI can now design antibodies to hit a target you pick — no animals, no massive screens. I spoke with @santimillef to unpack Germinal, the open-source pipeline behind it. We discuss how it works, the bottlenecks and what's next : youtu.be/g9GBoiOtibQ

thank you, @EleanorSheekey for your questions and @agingdoc1 for spreading the link. Here lifespan.io/news/playing-the… and here biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… are the popular and academic versions of the narrative discussed on the podcast. Friends, help please, as usual, spread the story with your likes and reposts. It's a lot better having a bad theory than none at all - let's get to the core of this.
How We Should Target Aging | Peter Fedichev Love what @EleanorSheekey is doing with @SheekeyScience. One of the sharpest geroscience #scicomm channels around, and @fedichev always brings the fire 🧪 youtube.com/watch?v=buEPyBiK…

Are we targeting aging the wrong way? In this interview with Peter Fedichev (@fedichev), CEO of Gero, we discuss why many longevity interventions may only be tackling “level 1” aging. youtu.be/buEPyBiKrXw

🎉 Congrats to #AGE2026 Early Career Scholar Awardee Eleanor Sheekey (@BDR_RIKEN)! Recognized by the #AmericanAgingAssociation, her research studies how the extracellular matrix shapes cellular rejuvenation — uncovering how tissue environments influence aging and regeneration.

Nice summary, thank you! Please help with likes and reposts!
It turns out with a bit of physics, you don't need 300 theories to explain aging—just 3 variables. In this video I show how this model can be used to categorise longevity interventions into 3 distinct levels based on their potential to extend lifespan. youtu.be/c-_Pdp5IIvw

FOXO3-modified cells reversed aging phenotypes in primates this year—cognitive decline, osteoporosis, fibrosis, infertility. VitaDAO is funding FOXO3 research targeting degenerative disc disease. @EleanorSheekey's full 2025 longevity breakthroughs breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=X-Hzyzo1…

Exciting news: the Public Longevity Group was featured on the Sheekey Science Show! @shoseph spoke with @EleanorSheekey about how PLG is building the first cultural intelligence system for longevity and why public trust is the real bottleneck. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=bnUPDSe-…
