]MEMORABLE QUOTES
"Women's health is highly overlooked. We're not funding the science that can actually get us therapeutics or the ability to diagnose things properly." Laura Minquini
"What if we flip the model on its head? What if we start with community first and then land in territory and building institutions second? You first have the demand for a highly aligned online community such as the longevity community or the Ethereum community, which coins or led to the creation of Zuzalu, and then have them meet in the real world and build great things and start building institutions." Niklas Adzinger
"What is truly new and innovative, you will not know, and therefore you will not trust it. So withhold judgment and give the innovators the benefit of the doubt." Niklas Adzinger
