Joseph Weisenthal, Executive Editor of Business Insider, tweeted my Huffington Post "Jethro Knights 1% Life Extension Tax" article to his 65K twitter followers today. The quote he chose to highlight was: "With a trillion dollars, human death can be halted in 10 years time." Tweets are of course not endorsements, but it's nice to see the article and the topic of life extension science being shared around and considered by journalists and editors. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zoltan-...

Despite some of the issues people have with the proposed small new Jethro Knights Life Extension Tax and ideas of government involvement in life extension (which, frankly, I also have), it's nice to see this article be the lead featured blog in the Huff Po

Despite some of the issues people have with a proposed small new tax and ideas of government involvement in life extension (which, frankly, I also have), it's nice to see this article be the lead featured blog in the Huff Po Tech section this morning. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zoltan-...

Huffington Post Canada Business has also picked up this article of mine. It's also leading the Huff Po US Anti-Aging section for blogs, and near the top in US Tech.

Huffington Post Canada Business has also picked up this article of mine. It's also leading the Huff Po US Anti-Aging section for blogs, and near the top in US Tech. Hopefully people are learning more about the field of life extension through it and seeing its possibilities. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zoltan-...
