The Buck Institute [0], featured in this article, is a pretty outstanding organization -- they're unique in being a sizable research center devoted to researching aging. I'm excited to see their idea of age-related diseases as biological maintenance problems gaining some traction.

I'm not entirely sure where the interviewer was going with this statement, though.

> There’s a lot of Silicon-Valley buzz about longevity and many startups working to develop immortality pills.

I've yet to hear of a startup working on an "immortality pill."
