Why we age and how to slow it | Venki Ramakrishnan

Episode #334. Can we turn back the clock on our biology? Join me as I sit down with Nobel Prize-winning structural biologist Dr Venki Ramakrishnan to discuss why we age, how we age, and the scientific advancements helping us live longer and healthier lives. In this episode, you'll learn about the core reasons behind aging, the role of ribosomes and DNA damage in this process, and the science behind popular longevity interventions.
