Harvard geneticist · longevity communicator

First-rate molecular biologist; the critique is presenting mouse/mechanism findings as human-actionable.

Evidence vs. their claims

Across 14 testable claims, where the weight of independent evidence lands — on their side, or against them. Their own research network is excluded as evidence.

Read relative to their stance: when they dispute a claim and the evidence supports that claim, it counts as against them. Each row shows their stance, so you can see which way the evidence cuts.

Conflicts of interest

• Co-founded Sirtris (resveratrol → GSK $720M); flagship compounds failed/were discontinued
• Co-founder Metro Intl Biotech (pharma-grade NMN) — direct interest in NMN's status
• Co-founder Tally Health (epigenetic 'biological age' tests) + ~30 longevity-company roles

Stated factually. Conflicts do not by themselves make a claim wrong; they are context for weighing it.

Claim-by-claim (14)

Grouped by health topic. A person's claims often span several areas — here's where each one lands.

Educational only, not medical advice. Verdicts grade the evidence, not the person; see the methodology.
