Aging is usually linked to size, metabolism, and inevitable decline—but bats defy all three.

In this episode, Dr. Buck Joffrey speaks with Dr. Emma Teeling about why bats are rewriting the rules of longevity science.

The discussion explores how bats live far longer than expected for their size while avoiding cancer, immune dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. They examine how stable telomeres, enhanced DNA repair, and tightly controlled immune responses allow bats to age slowly despite extreme metabolic demands.

Watch the full episode to understand why bat biology is reshaping how researchers think about human aging and healthspan.
