Bill Gifford
Bio
Bill Gifford is a veteran science journalist and author of two New York Times bestselling books about longevity — Spring Chicken: Stay Young Forever (Or Die Trying) and Outlive, with Dr. Peter Attia. A recognized expert on health and longevity, he is skilled at translating complicated scientific concepts and breakthroughs for lay audiences. While health and longevity rank high on his list of obsessions, he has also delved into the worlds of big-wave surfing, Alpine ski racing and BASE jumping — among other lifespan-shortening pursuits—for publications including Bloomberg Businessweek, Wired, Scientific American, Inc., Men’s 91色情片, and Outside. His latest book, Hotwired: How the Hidden Power of Heat Makes Us Stronger, explores the emerging science around heat and health. A native of Washington, D.C., he lives with his family in Salt Lake City, where he plays outside as often as possible.
