RT @j_n_justice: Could humans live to 200? In good health? What mechanisms limit human health and lifespan? Pleasure to join scientists to chew on these Qs with NYT - Read the full article:

(1/2) Aging is shaped by a network of biological processes, not a single mechanism. XPRIZE EVP, Health @J_N_Justice, PhD was featured in @nytimes, covering aging biology and the science needed to help people maintain health and function for longer.

(1/2) Join #XPRIZEWildfire’s Andrea Santy at @CleantechGroup’s Cleantech Forum Europe for a panel exploring how innovation can help advance wildfire detection and response. Register for the event using the link here to get 20% off.

We’re celebrating the extraordinary first day of our Global Visioneering Summit, where a brilliant group of thinkers came together to discuss, debate, and fund the world’s next breakthroughs. These conversations remind us what’s possible when we dare to boldly go where no one has gone before.

RT @UCalgary: Finalist teams from across the globe in the $5M XPRIZE Quantum Applications competition were hosted at UCalgary by Quantum City and the @XPRIZE Canada Hub for presentations, keynotes, and conversations focused on translating quantum algorithms into real-world impact.

(1/4) Though wildfire brought the Global Visioneering Summit to an early close, the work continued!🧠 XPRIZE Brain Trust teams across three focus areas pitched six bold prize concepts tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges. Meet the concepts shaping what comes next. ⬇️

(3/4) 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 + 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 + 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭: Turning phosphorus-rich waste into affordable fertilizer for a more resilient and circular food system. 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲: Producing dairy proteins without relying on livestock, using far less land and water.

(4/4) 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬: Vastly extending the time donor organs remain viable, giving more people a chance at a transplant. 𝐗𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫: Reprogramming the immune system to stop cancer before tumors can even develop.

When the Bryson wildfire changed plans for the Global Visioneering Summit, the XPRIZE Brain Trust came together to keep the work moving. Despite evacuating the original venue, teams still found a way to pitch bold prize concepts, sparking funding for future competitions.

(1/2) Desalination doesn’t end when fresh water leaves the system. What happens to the brine matters, too. 🌊 Several #XPRIZEWaterScarcity Semifinalists are exploring how the water, salts, and minerals in brine can be recovered instead of discharged. Meet the Teams below. ⬇️

(1/2) Biomarkers are becoming an increasingly important tool in understanding the biology of aging. At the @AgingBiomarkers Conference, XPRIZE’s @J_N_Justice, PhD shared an update on the #XPRIZEHealthspan competition. The session also highlighted key partners and sponsors such as @GSK, Olink, and @UCSanDiego for short talks and a panel about aging biomarker development.
