One of the people on front lines of this is Dr. David Sinclair who is a leading longevity expert, professor at Harvard University and author of the book Lifespan: Why we Age and Why We Don't Have To (https://amzn.to/3KXpzN8).

He is a software engineer, educator and author of the book The Stickler’s Guide to Science in the Age of Misinformation: The Real Science Behind Hacky Headlines, Crappy Clickbait, and Suspect Sources (https://amzn.to/3tH5swJ).
