David Sinclair, Harvard researcher (originally from Australia), is the 'go to' person - https://twitter.com/Harvard/status/1107418841058078720
And here's a panel conversation with MIT and Harvard researchers' George Church, Ed Boyden, Patti Maes, David Sinclair and others about this - https://www.facebook.com/xapiensatMIT/videos/347012609252421/UzpfSTgyNDEzMDU2MToxMDE2MTM3ODMzNTI5MDU2Mg/ ...
Further reason for NtF/friends / Quakers to escalate involvement in the Peace Movement - and now via the Internet - to help reduce mortality from war of both soldiers and civilians.
Cheers, Scott
