Wim Hof @Iceman_Hof believes science focuses too much on textbook knowledge, instead of addressing the real-life problems that challenge society every day. This is one of the reasons why we built @ResearchHub: to open a dialogue between science and the public, and keep

15 months ago, the first research grants were funded on ResearchHub. Since then, 5.3M+ $RSC has been allocated to scientific research. Science funding is moving onchain, and the pace is only accelerating. Apply for funding or host a funding opportunity →

Reproductive medicine was built for conception, not longevity. IVF, cryopreservation, and ovarian stimulation are all conception-era tools. Validated targets for follicle preservation, ovarian-age biomarkers, mtDNA interventions; these don't exist yet.

The numbers reflect it. Sperm counts have fallen 50% globally since 1970. Testicular oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and environmental exposures are all implicated. Validated intervention targets remain absent.

It's not just women. 128,400 PubMed publications on maternal age. 15,300 on paternal age. Sperm DNA fragmentation, de novo mutations, and epigenetic dysregulation all accumulate with age. The field has barely looked.

We also can't predict whose reserve will decline, or how fast. AMH is a weak predictor under 30. AFC is operator-dependent. Epigenetic clocks aren't yet validated. The stratification tools we need don't exist yet.

Modern life is making it worse. Stress, metabolic syndrome, EDCs (phthalates, BPA, PFAS), and circadian disruption are all established modulators of ovarian function. Dose-response and reversibility? Largely uncharacterized.

Ovarian aging isn't just a reproductive issue. Estrogen decline drives cardiovascular risk, neuroinflammation, bone resorption, and insulin resistance. The ovary is a longevity organ. We should treat it like one.

Women are born with ~1 million follicles. By menopause: ~1,000 remain. The ovary ages faster than almost any other organ, and we don't fully understand why.

The biology is ready. The researchers are ready. The funding hasn't kept up...until now. @ResearchHub is offering $10k for research on reproductive longevity. 🧵
