What image does the name ‘woolly mammoth’ bring to your mind? Huge, majestic creatures with giant tusks walking an Earth yet untouched by modern humans.
They last walked that walk a million years back and since then the majestic animals have lain silent and mostly undisturbed in their permafrost graves. But, now curious scientists have decided to disturb their slumber and attempt to ‘reawaken’ ancient, Stone Age viruses.
The company was founded under the name Future Meat Technologies in 2018, but rebranded to Believer Meats last month. In 2021 they opened a facility to produce lab-grown meat at scale in Israel, and were aiming to secure FDA approval and start offering their products in US restaurants by the end of this year. That doesn’t seem to have happened, as the first FDA approval went to competitor Upside Foods.
But true to its name, Believer Meats hasn’t been deterred by this slower-than-anticipated series of events. Last week the company started construction of a 200,000-square-foot factory in Wilson, North Carolina, about 45 miles due east of Raleigh. In a press release the company stated, somewhat perplexingly, that it chose this location partly because of its “success in integrating technology-driven solutions to improve the lives of residents.”
With a production capacity of 10,000 metric tons, Believer says the facility will be the biggest of its type in the world. They’re putting $123 million into the plant, and say it will create more than 100 new jobs over the next three years. This huge investment seems like a bit of a leap of faith considering the company doesn’t have regulatory approval to produce and sell cultivated meat anywhere, including in the US; but co-founder Yaakov Nahmias says they’ve been working with the FDA towards gaining approval for years.
With Christmas Day behind us, it’s the time of year when thoughts make a bend towards the future. And for the longevity space, 2023 is set to be a very exciting year – 2022 certainly kept Longevity. Technology busy news-wise and we suspect the coming year will turn it up to 11.
Longevity. Technology: We spend a significant amount of time analysing the longevity market and the companies therein; to assist us in the mammoth task (there are over 560 longevity companies in our database, and the number is climbing!), we have categorised these companies by domain, and we have 25 domains of longevity.
Here, in no particular order, are five companies (plus Altos, natch) that we expect to be making headlines in 2023; we’ve categorised these by longevity domain for your reading pleasure.
So you thought 2022 was bad, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Check out today’s insane new video on why 2023 will be the worst year EVER!

The radiation from small amplitude waves on straight strings is calculated. The result is applied to a string with colliding kinks, and the power spectrum and total power obtained. The rate of rounding of the kinks due to gravitational damping is found, which enables one to show that the backreaction causes the average separation between kinks on infinite strings to scale with the horizon in an expanding universe.
David C. Van Essen is the Alumni Endowed Professor in the Anatomy & Neurobiology Department at Washington University in St. Louis. He has pioneered the use of surface-based analysis methods to characterize the structure, function, development, and connectivity of the cerebral cortex. He is Principal Investigator for the NIH Human Connectome Project, a large-scale effort to map brain circuitry and its relationship to behavior in healthy adults. His physiological and anatomical studies have provided deep insights into cortical functional organization. He has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Neuroscience, President of the Society for Neuroscience, and Head of the Anatomy & Neurobiology Department for 20 years. He is a fellow of the AAAS and received the Raven Lifetime Achievement Award from the St. Louis Academy of Sciences and the Krieg Cortical Discoverer Award from the Cajal Club.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
