Session 12: Bottlenecks to Progress & What You Can Do This session concludes the Longevity Zero to One course. We systematically go over important bottlenecks in longevity and discuss promising paths to unblock them. Topics: - Lack of good models and biomarkers - Lack of funding - Piecemeal science - Hype/herd mentality - Primitive tools - Personnel - Cultural aversion - Institutional misalignment - Lack of career / educational paths - Lack of public databases - Siloes - Lack of data standards - Lack of regulatory paths About the course Longevity Zero to One is a course designed to get you from zero biology to a general understanding of the intervention landscape and bottlenecks to progress. We emphasize on helping participants apply their existing skillsets to high-impact areas in longevity. Attending all sessions is highly recommended. If you don’t have a biology background, we strongly advise attending the 1st session (General Biology) and 2nd session (Aging Biology). If you do have a background in biology, feel free to skip the 1st session!
