Thomas Schulz

Description

Living longer healthily and slowing down aging: what once sounded like science fiction is now a seriously researched field. Under the keyword Longevity, laboratories, startups, and investors are working to better understand and influence the biological processes of aging. But what is scientifically reliable and what is just an expensive trend? Thomas Schulz classifies the Longevity boom and shows the scientific, economic, and ethical questions associated with the promise of a longer life. Thomas Schulz is a reporter for SPIEGEL's editorial team, a multiple award-winning journalist, and author of the book Project Life Extension (2024). In his research, he combines perspectives from science, technology, and society. Moderation: Katharina Menne, editor at Spektrum der Wissenschaft and co-host of the podcast The Big Questions of Science In cooperation with Spektrum der Wissenschaft
