Alexa, tell us a little bit more about this whole longevity field that you're covering.
4:46
Yeah, I've had the pleasure of covering it as a journalist and now kind of programming it on the stage.
4:53
And it's been really interesting to Jodi's point around healthy debate.

I think I've learned through reporting on the sector that there really is a... fairly clear difference between healthy aging and longevity.
5:06
And I feel like longevity has been in the ether.
5:09
It's had this buzzword.
5:11
But really, there's a difference between sort of public healthy aging measures, what we think of as how do we collectively age well, whether that's how we think about designing a city for walkability and public healthy exercise opportunities.

But it's quite crazy how even within the longevity fields, I think that women are still being disadvantaged and not considered important enough to collect data on women.
