We all want to live good, long lives, but it’s not just about diet and exercise. Some animals simply live longer than others. It’s just how things are: cats live longer than mice, humans live longer than deer, bears live longer than salmon.
But why? And how? And most importnatly, could I you live forever?
People have spent their entire careers trying to answer these seemingly simple questions. We don’t have all the answers yet, but the ones we do have go right to the heart of life itself.
In this episode, we interview Dr. Pierre Blier, a researcher at Université du Québec à Rimouski who studies the evolution of animal energy metabolism, mitochondria, and aging. Dr. Blier has spent most of his career trying to untangle the knot of how and why aging happens. With over 200 published papers, his work has been fundamental to our understanding. Very few people on Earth understand aging as well as him.
Also, he knows a lot about one specific kind of clam.
