This guy, David Sinclair at Harvard, Marc T-L at Stanford ... disappointing but not entirely surprising that even in academia the spoils go to the scammers.

What’s up with Sinclair? Saw his name pop up in a multitude of aging/longevity content on youtube and my spidey senses were tingling.

I couldn't finish Sinclair's book on aging [1]; even in a book that he co-authored he comes across as a scammer

I have been seeing this guy David Sinclair a lot in my Youtube feed lately with raving reviews. But after reading your comment did a bit of research and my god what a scam(1).

There is so much misinformation and gaming going on in every industry and with A.I. generated content it's going to get so much easier.

For every person like you who is on HN and willing to do followup research and change their mind, there are at least a hundred who will accept the first thing they're told at face value.

I mean, how could a Harvard Professor be a scammer ... right?!
