Welcome to first issue of the Longevity Buffet newsletter by London Longevity!
We’re excited to introduce a new curated newsletter to bring our community together, and shine the spotlight on things and people we find most fascinating in the world of longevity science and business.

Convergent Research launched a new web portal, gap-map.org, to “explore the landscape of R&D gaps holding back science and the bridge-scale fundamental development efforts that might allow humanity to solve them”.
