Maximon - The Longevity Company Builder’s Post

Imagine a world where stepping outside could mean risking severe health effects from the sun's unfiltered rays. This wasn't a distant possibility in a dystopian future—it was a looming reality a few decades ago, when scientists discovered a growing hole in the ozone layer. But thanks to the visionary work of Mario J. Molina, a Mexican-born chemist, and his relentless pursuit of a solution, we changed course.   Molina’s groundbreaking research identified chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the culprit behind ozone depletion. This discovery was more than a scientific breakthrough; it rallied nations to action. The Montreal Protocol, which emerged from his findings, stands as a testament to what we can achieve when the world unites behind science and common sense. Today, we see the fruits of that unity: the ozone layer is healing, expected to return to its pre-1980 strength by 2060, securing a safer environment for future generations.   This narrative of recovery and resilience is particularly poignant as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. It reminds us of the vital contributions made by individuals from all corners of the world, contributions that transcend borders and benefit humanity universally. Molina’s legacy is a powerful illustration of how diverse perspectives are crucial in solving global challenges. His work is not just a scientific milestone; it is a beacon of hope, showing us that informed, committed individuals can indeed make a difference.   I am a proud executive champion of the Fusion Business Resource Group. Part of my passion and purpose as a leader is to be an inclusion champion for all our team members, so there are no unheard voices within the walls of Corewell Health. I encourage each of you to be leaders in your own right, to find your own voice in the chorus that shapes our future and to take action that leaves a lasting impact.   This past week, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Fusion BRG hosted Marcela Aldaz-Matos, MBA as a keynote speaker. Marcela's presentation, titled "Honoring Heritage, Inspiring Future: Hispanic Voices in Healthcare," emphasized the importance of valuing diverse perspectives and life experiences to enrich one another's lives. Together, we have the power to shape a future where every voice is heard, and every contribution is valued. Let’s make that future a reality, both within our organization and beyond.

Our latest paper on #TransdisciplinaryResearch collaboration explores the nuances of effective collaboration and leadership in navigating complex health challenges. Here are the key take-home messages: Clarity is Crucial: A shared understanding of the nature of collaboration within transdisciplinary research settings is paramount for achieving success. Overcoming Obstacles: Identifying and addressing barriers specific to transdisciplinary collaboration, such as time constraints and entrenched collaboration patterns, is fundamental for fostering effective teamwork. Invest in Skill Development: Prioritise investment in practical training programs tailored to transdisciplinary research contexts, equipping researchers at different career stages with essential competencies for success. Leadership Matters: Effective leadership, rooted in integrative principles, plays a pivotal role in guiding transdisciplinary teams through complex research environments. Continuous Improvement: Continual research on leadership capabilities within transdisciplinary contexts is imperative for evolving strategies to address emerging challenges. #ResearchImpact #Teamwork #Leadership Renuka Visvanathan Alison Kitson Mandy Archibald Caring Futures Institute CRE Frailty and Healthy Ageing

At the intersection of pop-up cities and longevity biotech (again), talking about problems and questions we have to consider to steer the longevity biotech field in a better direction. TL;DR: aging science is hard and has fundamental limitations (speed, intrinsic systemic complexity), as much as the associated biotech industry does. But there's more we don't talk about, from the lack of urgency and inconsistent or non-representative storytelling to poor incentive alignment and (my favourite one) the formation of a longevity echo chamber -- the same people chatting about the same things in the same way, reinforcing feedback loops and perspectives. Glad to have spoken at https://lu.ma/e75x2ghn, 3-day conference I co-organized with Kamil Pabis. 📍 Edge Lanna (edgecity.live/lanna), Chiang Mai, Thailand

When women are enabled to reach their full potential, everyone benefits. But severe inequities in health outcomes — especially related to maternal and reproductive care — currently place women around the world at risk. Throughout her work at BCG, Sarah Chamberlain has discovered the urgent need to enhance both funding and innovation in women's health care. She's found that, although the tools to ensure better outcomes exist, we need collaboration from innovators, payors, and providers to make them more accessible.
