It was all about collaboration: maybe not a lot of shiny new discoveries and unpublished data, but Longevity Summit Dublin 2022 brought together researchers, investors, and advocates to forge a common vision. More attention is being brought to the last category, as evidenced by our own executive director, Stephanie Dainow, receiving the Rising Star 2022 award at the conference.

Stephanie gave an inspiring talk where she explained how the unique ecosystem of Lifespan.io works to connect various players in the field and promote the common goal of extending healthy human lifespan. Hurdles such as common biases and misconceptions about longevity, and the difficulty of translating complex scientific ideas into messages that the general public can understand, were mentioned by many speakers. Overcoming those hurdles is exactly where Lifespan.io shines.

Two veteran advocates, Bernard Siegel and Patricia Nicklin, announced at the conference that they are joining the cause. Nicklin, founder and CEO of Nicklin Social Impact Consulting, has led several high-profile successful campaigns such as the famous No Kid Hungry campaign. Siegel’s Regenerative Medicine Foundation has existed since 2003 and has contributed enormously to making stem cell research mainstream. Siegel has become executive director of the newly formed Healthspan Action Coalition, which unites several prominent non-profits, such as Methuselah Foundation and the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives, which were also represented at the conference.
