SUMMARY
Reports that, following the Animal Bioscience 'Leap Years' press-release controversy, Animal Bioscience 'issued a revised press release that stepped away from the claim of age reversal,' and that David Sinclair resigned as president of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research after board members pressed him to do so in a video meeting; new Academy president Nir Barzilai said Sinclair's claim and his financial interest in Animal Bioscience 'crossed a line.' Byline, publication date (7 May 2024, updated 17 May 2024), and publisher confirmed directly on the fetched page.
NOTES
Confirms the two aftermath facts of the Leap Years episode (the corrected press release, and Sinclair’s resignation as Academy president) that the STAT News (5 March 2024) and Kaeberlein (3 March 2024) sources, both published before these events, do not themselves establish.
