​About Raiany:
Raiany is the CEO and founder of the Florens Institute, a new 501c3 designed to streamline, quantify, and inspire progress in frontier science. She helped design and launch the $101M Healthspan XPRIZE, and is the author of Redesigining Aging: The Ethics and Economics of Human Longevity, forthcoming with Harvard University Press. Raiany’s research has appeared or is forthcoming in publications like The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Quillette, Forbes, ABC, and Bloomberg. She received the world’s first-ever PhD on the Ethics and Economics of Human Longevity (which she designed) under George Church, Oded Galor, and Steven Pinker, and was previously based at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University.

​Raiany spends most of her time thinking about how converging technologies will transform governments and human nature in the coming decades. She’s particularly interested in why secular humans narrate aging as a net-positive, teleological phenomenon—and in the negative effects of this narrative on economies and people.
