<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A personal report from the recent Undoing Aging conference in Berlin by Nicola Bagal\u00e0. The event saw many of the leading figures in aging research and rejuvenation biotechnology attend a packed conference which celebrates its second successful year.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Last Wednesday, I landed in Berlin, Germany at around 12:30. About an hour later, I was briefly in Caf\u00e8 Alex, right next to the tapering TV Tower, where I met some of my colleagues from LEAF\u2014some of whom I had never seen in person before\u2014as well as other volunteers and members of <a href=\"https:\/\/heales.org\/\">HEALES<\/a>, our friend organization. We were all there to attend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.undoing-aging.org\/\">Undoing Aging 2019<\/a> conference, which would take place over the course of the next three days, bringing together experts and researchers from all over the world to discuss the latest advances, network, and share views on the biology of aging.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to video calls, meeting people face-to-face whom you\u2019d only known through the Internet isn\u2019t all that strange, but meeting people whom you had only read about or seen on YouTube still feels a little unreal, especially if these people are celebrities in their own field. Shortly after leaving Caf\u00e8 Alex, we headed to our hotel to check in; Steve Hill and his wife Fatima\u2014whose help over the course of my stay has been invaluable\u2014were talking to the receptionist while Elena Milova and I were waiting right behind them. Elena and I were chatting about various things when a man who looked somewhat familiar walked through the doors; I wasn\u2019t sure he was whom I thought he was, and as I glanced to Elena to ask for confirmation, I understood that he was indeed stem cell pioneer and AgeX CEO Mike West, who has been in the gerontology scene for quite a while now.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/my-experiences-at-undoing-aging-2019\/\">https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/my-experiences-at-undoing-aging-2019\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A personal report from the recent Undoing Aging conference in Berlin by Nicola Bagal\u00e0.
