We keep chasing time,until one day humanity discoversimmortality and ultimate health.
Careful reporting on biology, longevity, vision, medicine, and the capital that decides which questions get asked. We explain what is known, mark clearly where the evidence stops, and never tell you what to do about your own body.

Longevity
The cells that stop dividing but refuse to leave
Senescence is one of the most studied ideas in the biology of ageing. Here is what the term actually means, and where the honest edges of the science are.

Everything we have published, most recent first.
VisionNeuroscience
The retina is nervous tissue, and that changes everything
The eye is often described as a camera. The comparison is useful for optics and misleading for almost everything else.

The clock that starts when an organ leaves the body
Transplantation is often told as a story about surgery. Much of the real constraint is a story about time and temperature.

Who pays for discovery, and what that money quietly decides
Funding structure is not a footnote to scientific progress. It is one of the main forces determining which questions get asked.
Read the piece →BiologyCell Biology
The compartment that makes the energy, and keeps its own instructions
Mitochondria are described in every textbook as the powerhouse of the cell. The more interesting fact is that they carry their own separate DNA.
Read the piece →MedicineMethods
How medical evidence is actually built, and why it takes so long
The gap between a promising laboratory result and an accepted treatment is not bureaucracy. It is the process by which a claim earns the right to be believed.

What ageing is, and what science can and cannot yet do about it.
Browse →Vision
The eye, the retina, and the long effort to restore sight.
Browse →Medicine
How treatments are built, tested and judged.
Browse →Science and Capital
Who pays for discovery, and how that shapes what gets found.

No advice
We report on research. We do not tell you what to take, what to stop, or what to do about a condition. That conversation belongs with a clinician who knows your history.
No selling
There are no subscriptions, no paywalls, no memberships and no paid placements. Nobody can buy coverage here, favourable or otherwise.
No overclaiming
A result in cells is not a result in people. Where the evidence stops, we say so in the same paragraph rather than at the bottom of the page.
