Michael Benjamin - Intriguing Outcomes of Alcor's Meta-Analysis

In this episode, Max and Daniel sit down with Michael Benjamin to discuss his meta-analysis of Alcor's case history. He is working on a comprehensive meta-analysis of all Alcor patient cases, an endeavor whose goal is to develop, experimentally validate, and refine a quantitative cryopreservation evaluation methodology. Michael brings with him 20 years of experience in physics, engineering and mathematics having worked at places such as NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Brookhaven National Labs and Lockheed Martin.

Topics include:

• Michael's experience in the space industry 
• His unique health challenges and how they could affect his cryopreservation
• The inception of Alcor's Meta-Analysis project
• S-Mix score and why he values it as a primary metric
• Concerns and limitations with the S-Mix score
• Some surprising results of the meta-analysis 
• The dangers of unattended death and suicide
• The newly established Biostasis Technologies organization and what it means for the industry
• And much more...

As always, you can find Max and Daniel over at the Cryosphere Cryonics discord server.
