This article comes at the perfect time! Your piece on small molecules for longevety is so insightful, I was just thinking about the future of medicine. The bit about AI-designed compounds achieving 70% lifespan extension in C. elegans really blew my mind; it's exactly why I'm so passionate about AI. Such a cool read!

Thanks so much!! Really glad the timing landed well and that it sparked those “future of medicine” thoughts.

And yes that C. elegans result is a mind-bender, but I always try to hold it with the right context: worms are a great fast model for discovery, and the big question is how much of that signal translates across species and mechanisms.
