Andrew Steele - Ageless: Getting Older without Getting Old

This year in May, the simplified Chinese version of his book Ageless: The new science of getting older without getting old has just been published by CITIC Press Group in Chinese Mainland.

CITIC Press Group and TimePie jointly lauched this series of interviews with authors. And for this episode, we are delighted to invite Dr. Andrew Steele as our guest.

In the interview, Dr. Andrew Steele gives a thought-provoking and insightful speech on his intention to write the book. Some heated questions are also covered during the Q&A session, like the relationship between one’s reproductive capacity and lifespan and the latest trial of blood changing.
