Preserving Research Across Hype Cycles

Leon Peshkin, Harvard Scientist, cautions us about hype and false promises of longevity therapies and encourages scientists in the field to sober up. He has seen the same cycle repeat for many waves of research. A new concept is discovered, flooded with bandwagoning and poor research, and then abandoned. He wants to build a process that retains the useful knowledge from each cycle in a machine-learning capable manner, so that the valuable portions of research effort are preserved. We need to organize a crowdsourced effort to create and curate data on aging at scale.
