On February 11, the popular Futurist David Wood hosted a livestream about aging research on the London Futurists Youtube channel. The LEAF outreach director Elena Milova was one of the guests on the show, which was an informative summary of progress in the field of rejuvenation biotechnology.
There were a range of guests included in the panel and it was interesting to hear their insights into the cutting edge research happening in labs right now. Elena was on hand to give some excellent updates on the progress in research and share her knowledge of the field. We would like to thank David for hosting the event and look forward to seeing more in the future.
