#Digest Open Longevity July 3–9

💵 We have created a page on Patreon, please subscribe and donate. This way, we will implement a strategy to fight death together.

"If you think your impending death is a fundamental problem, then you should do the same as we do."

⚡️ The #SayForever! project continues to develop.

Data collection and processing for #SayForeverDay continues. This month we decided to check how the desire to live long and the awareness of the longevity field are connected. More details later, follow the announcements!

Dmitry Larichev, while living in the Kishinev Airport Terminal, conducted a survey as part of the global #SayForeverDay campaign. The survey was conducted among people who were also denied entry. The fight against aging cannot be stopped!

Nastya Egorova started an endless thread on Threads
(a new social network from Zuckerberg, similar to Twitter): "Why do you want to live much longer?", let's add meaningfulness to the new social network and try to put together a trully endless thread!
