The Life Cycle
We have reached the third season of The Life Cycle, and this time around we want to bring the podcast right down to earth and get in deep with the things that matter to us all and our collective future. And what better way to do that than to have long, engaged conversations with some brilliant people? We talk food, we talk fertility, we talk about life online and we also visit the site of one of humanity’s most exciting endeavors: the mission to create nuclear fusion here on Earth, and harness the power of the Sun itself! Beginning with a chat with Klang CEO Mundi Vondi, this season promises to deepen our understanding of the life cycle, and just what it is we’re all doing here….

S3E4: ‘Forever Young’ with Daniel Ives
What would you do if you could live to be 100, 125 or even 150? Sure, we all may want to live forever, but what would that actually look like? How would we communicate to those around us? And not only that, is the recent longevity craze feasible or just people with too much time (and money) on their hands?
In this episode, Eva meets with Daniel Ives and has an incredibly exciting and interesting discussion about what he sees as the very real, if not inevitable, space of tackling human aging in a science based way. Trust us, it’s a trip.
Daniel Ives has a PhD from the University of Cambridge, and co-founded Shift Bioscience in 2017.
