reset the epigenome, which is the little markers on top of the DNA that turn genes on and off, back to a youthful state.
Extraordinary groundbreaking work that was done that won the Nobel Prize led to the foundation of several companies.
There's a Harvard scientist named David Sinclair.
He's a bit of a controversial character.

Chamath, you ever met him?
