Alex Colville is the longevity investor we call when someone claims to have found the fountain of youth. He helped found age1, earned a PhD in genetics from Stanford, and has spent much of his career deciding which attempts to slow or reverse aging are plausible enough to fund. This makes him a strange sort of power broker in a field better known for billionaires, influencers, and heroic quantities of supplements. Colville's own regimen is not much of a regimen. He eats reasonably well, exercises, sometimes drinks, sleeps too little, and takes none of the drugs popular with the longevity crowd. He is waiting for evidence.
The evidence may finally be catching up with the money. Colville and Ashlee sort through GLP-1 drugs, calorie restriction, rapamycin, CRISPR, hibernating squirrels, whales that live for centuries, dog longevity trials, young cells grown from old ones, and the billions of dollars poured into Altos Labs and Calico. They ask whether partial reprogramming could give an old liver the function of a young one, why China may beat the United States at turning biology into medicine, and whether the virtual cell is much less virtual than advertised. Then Colville gets to the properly strange future: organs held in suspended animation, brains kept alive outside the body, and a terminally ill person's head touring the country in a Waymo. Longevity is still full of hype. It is also, Colville argues, getting very close to its first undeniable win.

Can brain-computer interface tech stop cancer?
Most BCI companies focus on neural control, but Coherence is taking a different path by analyzing and treating brain tumors directly.
For decades we have used the same four principles to treat cancer: burn (radiation), cut (surgery), poison (chemo), melt (immunotherapies) - but scientists have noticed that cancer cells also respond to electricity...

Brain cancer doesn't just grow, it hijacks you. Cancer wires itself into your brain's electrical circuitry and uses your own neural signals to spread.
Ben Woodington of Coherence Neuro is building an implant that listens in on that conversation and turns it against the tumor. Full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

How far can you push the human body?
Early planes had no seatbelts because engineers thought every crash was fatal.
Then, a doctor named John Paul Stapp strapped himself to a rocket sled to prove the human body could survive far more than anyone believed.
His data gave us cockpit restraints, seatbelts in cars, and the airbag.
Alan Eustace fell 27.7 miles from the stratosphere and holds the world space jump record. But before him came generations of crazy people doing crazy things in the sky!

The highest skydive in history was not the Red Bull jump. In October 2014, Alan Eustace, a computer scientist and senior vice president at Google, rose to 135,890 feet under a helium balloon wearing only a spacesuit and let go, breaking Felix Baumgartner's world record and the sound barrier on the way down. People on the ground heard the sonic boom. Unlike the Red Bull Stratos livestream watched by millions, Eustace did it in near secrecy with one reporter present, John Markoff of The New York Times. In this episode of the Core Memory podcast, Eustace gives Ashlee Vance the full story of the StratEx jump: the Joe Kittinger and John Paul Stapp history that inspired it, the three years of secret engineering with Paragon Space Development, the test jump where everything went wrong, the goodbye videos his wife made him record for their kids, and the crash landing that put his spacesuit in the Smithsonian.
Eustace also happens to be one of the great figures in computing history. He worked at Digital Equipment Corporation in its heyday, joined Google around employee 50, and helped build the data center infrastructure that still runs much of the internet. He tells the story of hiring Franz Och without an interview to build Google Translate, explains why AI is a revolution on the scale of the microprocessor and the internet, and why he thinks cancer will not be solved by an LLM. These days he sits on the board of Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which he says is about to prove fusion power is real, and runs Aqua Satellite, a small company building autonomous underwater drones to explore the ocean floor, find MH370, and finish his search for Amelia Earhart.
