Well, I’m going to spend the time listening to him talk next week! Sinclair, Attia, Aspey and every other person who is self promoting in this field will be there (Las Vegas LongevityFest). I’ll have to report back on whether he has scaled back his claims.

Oh…a rigorous 5-10 bullet point summary of what was actually interesting and appeared to have sound science behind it would be immensely valuable for this community

He is doing at least some good work: the epigenetic reprogramming for glaucoma looks very good in mice, and his ICE Mice study was interesting. But he greatly overhyped the former, and misrepresented the significance of the latter — and he’s still flat-out lying about resveratrol, and flat-out lied about Animal Biosciences’ anti-aging chewy.
I don’t know exactly why Harvard hasn’t fired him, or even if they’ve seriously considered it, but (a) despite all of his hype and misrepresentation, there’s no evidence that he’s committed outright research fraud (and many academics have held on for years in the face of accusations of that), and (b) he is tenured, which makes him difficult to fire.
