We have had an update from the MitoSENS team at the SENS Research Foundation about MitoMouse backer rewards which were due to ship at the end of last month.
All the items have been ordered, however, we will not be able to physically ship anything until we are allowed into the building.
Due to the pandemic, shipping has been halted until CA “shelter in place” order is rescinded as we want to prioritize health and wellness right now.
As of now the shelter in place situation is until April 7 but could very well extend longer, we don’t know for how long.
Dr. Amutha Boominathan
We appreciate this may be a dissapointment to those who backed the project but rest assured as soon as it is possible Lifespan.io and the MitoSENS team will be working to get these items sent out to you when it becomes possible. The COVID-19 virus has severely disrupted manufacturing and postal services (not to mention everything else) so we ask that you please bear with us during this difficult time.
