The Earth is heating up very quickly, and the things we needed to deal with climate change, we did not do. Governments have talked, held conferences, made commitments and set targets. Some progress has certainly been made. But not enough, not nearly enough. In Paris in 2015, nearly every nation on Earth agreed to hold … Continue reading

The Decline and Ascension of Avram Miller
My body is slowing down as my brain speeds up. It is quite a dilemma. It is understandable that my body would be slowing down. After all, I am 81 years old. But why is my brain speeding up? That is not to be expected. Now, I feel like I felt when I was an … Continue reading
Healthcare in Italy-My Positive Experence
We moved to Italy in February 2025, first living in Genoa and then moving to Lecce in October 2025. In Lecce we bought a palazzo built in 1731 in the historic center, which we are now renovating. The renovation will ultimately cost more than what we originally paid for the property and will take about … Continue reading

Longevity: The Roles of Genetics and Lifestyle
For years, I accepted the conventional wisdom that genetics accounts for less than 30% of human lifespan. I never really questioned that figure, and in retrospect, that’s a little embarrassing.

Others who know that I’ve worked in the field of longevity for years sometimes ask for my “secret.” I usually joke that the secret was choosing the right parents. That joke is … Continue reading

First: A Bit of Extraction and a Lot of Pain The extraction of three molars was not easy—it took three hours. I’ve been in pain for about ten days, but it’s getting better. … Continue reading
The Rebuilding of Avram Miller: Time to Replace the Oldest Parts
We came to Los Angeles on July 27, 2025, from Europe and will be here for a month. I did not expect that I would be spending a lot of my time dealing with my teeth, eyes, and ears. I have been asking myself, “Are we as old as our oldest parts?” The answer is … Continue reading
Are We As Old As Our Oldest Part?
As readers of my blog know, I’m deeply interested in longevity. I helped establish the Longevity Center at Sheba Hospital (Tel Aviv University) in Israel, which I continue to advise. My interest spans both the biological science of aging and the economic implications of a world where more people live longer—potentially requiring support from a … Continue reading
