Health Innovation Night: Progress in Health and Medicine—The Very Long View
About this Event
Join us for "Progress in Health and Medicine—The Very Long View" with Jason Crawford, founder, Roots of Progress.
Progress in Health and Medicine—The Very Long View
Staying healthy has always been one of the great concerns of human existence. We have come a very long way, more than doubling life expectancy, with dramatic improvements especially in child and maternal mortality. But we still have a very long way to go: we still suffer from cancer and heart disease, we are still vulnerable to pandemics, we still succumb to old age. Jason Crawford, founder of the Roots of Progress Institute and author of The Progress Manifesto (coming 2027), will put medical progress in the context of the long historical view, and offer thoughts on the grand challenges for the coming decades.
Co-hosted with Long Now Boston.
Take a break. Come to talk digital health with friends. Swing by after work for a drink between 5:30p and 8:30p at the Liberty Hotel, 2nd floor lobby bar in downtown Boston, with your hosts Ethan Berg (G4 Investments), Tom Arneman (Tyber Edge), and Steven Wardell (Wardell Advisors, DigitalHealth InvestorTalk). We are bringing together innovators and investors in healthcare. Stay for a short visit or as long as you like. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and cash bar. Taking the T is easiest; if you are driving you may find the Mass Eye & Ear Parking to be the most reasonable.
(Note that our venue The Liberty Hotel has a fashion show every Thursday night, called Fashionably Late, which begins at 9p (after our event has ended) and which is unrelated to our event. You are welcome, and some attendees attend the fashion show as well.)
