ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Why a High Schooler Is Writing About the Future of Aging
My interest in longevity started with my grandmother.
I began to wonder what if we could help people stay healthier for longer? What if aging didn't have to mean years of declining health?
As I began exploring those questions, I discovered that longevity is about much more than biology. It's also about economics, policy, technology, and access. New therapies and innovations have the potential to transform millions of lives, but they also raise important questions about affordability, inequality, healthcare systems, and the future of society.
The Longevity Ledger is my way of exploring those questions. Through research, interviews, and analysis, I aim to make the rapidly evolving world of longevity more understandable and accessible to students, professionals, investors, and anyone curious about what longer lives could mean for our future.
