Late one October night in 2016, a group of friends set up recording equipment in a hotel lobby and settled in for three hours of wine-fueled banter about a so-called elixir of life. The group comprised the molecular biologist David Sabatini, biologist Navdeep Chandel, a physician named Peter Attia, and the well-known podcaster and self-help guru Tim Ferriss.

The main purpose of the Whitehead filing is to obtain a stay from court trial while the MITs Title IX investigation into Sabatinis conduct is ongoing, because his defamation lawsuit is clearly aiming to derail that investigation and to silence and intimidate all witnesses. She rushed out quickly.That very evening, [X] texted a friend telling him how upset she was bywhat had happened.

Its importance is enough to fuel persistent speculation that Sabatinis findings will someday earn him a Nobel Prize. Sabatinis court filing bemoans: During his career, Dr. Sabatini developed strong and valuable relationships with leading scientific journals, including but not limited to Science and Nature. For example, Sabatini asked a female masters student in his lab if she was Sabatini is almost certainly guilty of something but the bar is set very low and (as you can see) its almost impossible to defend yourself against these allegations because there are no written charges, there is no discovery and if you do go on the offensive you fall foul of the no retaliation policy.
