Join us for a deepdive into the science and mystery of ageing – from the man who fasted for a year to the woman who successfully edited her own DNA.
A rising star of molecular biology and already a bestselling author, Nicklas Brendborg joins us live from Copenhagen to lead us on a journey from the farthest reaches of the globe to cuttingedge research, revealing what science can tell about aging.
Packed full of real scientific studies, anecdotes and field research, Niklas will open the lid on some of the neverbeforeseen mysteries in the natural world around the topic of longevity. He will follow the thread of every experiment, story, and myth in the search for immortality – including the centuriesold Greenland shark and backwardsaging jellyfish.
With mindbending discoveries and physiological gifts that feel closer to magic than reality, this livestream event will reshape everything you thought you knew about aging – and offer nature’s secrets to unlocking your own longevity.
