This is an in-depth interview with scientist, author and expert on longevity science, Dr Andrew Steele. We discuss what ageing even is, whether it should be regarded as a disease, how we differ from other animals, where the research is, what treatments look promising, health and economic policy, and what the future looks like.

Watch Andrew and I chat about all things wearable - what numbers you should care about, which you shouldn’t https://youtu.be/9H40yatCwo0
