Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:02:28 GMT

Alex Colville had just completed his PhD in genetics at Stanford when he met Laura Deming, the wunderkind who dropped out of MIT at 16 and launched The Longevity Fund.At an age when most teenagers already believe they’ll live forever, Deming started a first-of-its-kind venture firm in 2011 to invest in revolutionary technologies that would attempt, at least, to prolong life. At the time, Deming was calling the scientific potential to slow the progression of time on the human body an “almost inconceivable notion,” “an almost terrifying truth.”Now, Colville, 30, and Deming, 29, are teaming up to try to push the technology even closer to reality, launching The Longevity Fund’s next generation: a new venture fund called age1. The firm, which started as an accelerator with backing from Silicon Valley venture capitalist Marc Andreessen in 2018, held an initial closing for $35 million targeting companies attempting to crack the code for extending human lifespans.Colville insists his genera...

Judge rules 14th Amendment lawsuit seeking to bar Donald Trump from Colorado ballot can proceed

Determining whether a Civil War-era Constitutional amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from Colorado’s ballot holds enough public benefit that a lawsuit seeking to bar him as a candidate can continue, a Denver judge ruled this week.A group of Colorado voters, backed by a liberal watchdog group, is arguing the 14th Amendment bars Trump from Colorado’s ballot. The amendment prohibits people from holding office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the country. The lawsuit, filed by Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters, cites Trump’s alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, siege of the nation’s Capitol, as meeting that bar.Trump’s lawyers argued in September that the lawsuit was an attempt to infringe on his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. They sought to dismiss the claim under a Colorado law aimed at protecting people from frivolous lawsuits for exercising that right.Without ruling on the merits of the case, Denver District Court Judge Sarah B.
