On the Season 1 finale of "The Tardigrade Chronicles", we explore the processes of aging in the natural world, examining discoveries from life forms that have managed strategies to extend lifespan and how they have influenced the blossoming field of innovations to prolong the human healthspan. We dive into how bats are uniquely able to fend off the effects of aging and how dogs inform us on comparative aging processes, including why small dogs have different lifespans than larger ones.  We trace the history of the field of epigenetics and how environment can shape the aging journey and the molecular biological clock. Finally, we spotlight the researchers, entrepreneurs, and companies pioneering new approaches to longevity, exploring both the promise and the challenges to extending healthy human lifespan. Join us for the exciting conclusion to Season 1 of “The Tardigrade Chronicles”.
