New Programs: Lifespan Expanded and a Conversation with Francis Collins

We’re born, we grow old, we die. It’s a rhythm long considered inevitable. But is it? Or is aging merely a disease science will one day cure or even reverse? Leading researchers join Brian Greene to explore why we age, how we can slow it, and recent breakthroughs that some scientists envision may one day stop it.

Francis Collins – leader of the Human Genome Project, Director of the National Institutes of Health across three presidential administrations, and President Biden's newly appointed Science Advisor – joins Brian Greene for a spirited and wide-ranging conversation on scientific exploration, the nature of life, and the perennial quest for purpose.
