Our mission
The Future of Science exists to communicate peptide and longevity research clearly and honestly — separating what is known from what is speculated, and preclinical findings from human evidence. We write for researchers, clinicians, biohackers, and the scientifically curious.
How we research and source
Each article begins from primary sources: peer-reviewed studies, regulatory filings, and authoritative reviews. Where we rely on secondary reporting, we name the outlet. We prefer recent literature but cite older landmark studies where they remain the best available evidence. Sources are listed at the end of every article.
Evidence standards
We distinguish explicitly between:
- In vitro and animal (preclinical) data — mechanistic or early-stage, not proof of effect in humans.
- Human clinical trials — and their phase, size, and design.
- Regulatory status — what an agency has or has not approved, versus what is under review.
We never present preclinical findings as established human effects. Where human data is absent or limited, we say so.
AI-assisted drafting and human review
We use AI tools to assist with drafting, literature gathering, and formatting. Every article is then reviewed and edited by a human editor before publication: facts are checked against cited sources, claims are tightened or qualified, and hype is removed. AI is a tool in our process — it does not decide what we publish.
How we handle health and legal information
Because our subject matter intersects with health and regulation, we apply extra care:
- No medical advice. Articles describe research, not treatment recommendations. Readers are directed to licensed professionals for personal decisions.
- Regulatory accuracy. Legal-status claims are tied to a specific date and source; we state what an agency has done versus what is pending.
- Dated claims. Time-sensitive statements (e.g., “as of 2026”) are labeled with the date they were true.
- No human-use promotion. We do not encourage the unsupervised use of unapproved compounds.
Updates and corrections
Science and regulation move. When the facts behind a published article change — especially legal or regulatory status — we update the article and set its “last updated” date so the change is visible. Material corrections are reflected in the body of the article, not silently buried. If you believe something we published is outdated or wrong, please use the contact page to flag it.
Sourcing and citations
We cite sources at the foot of each article and link to them where possible. We do not accept payment for coverage or for the placement of sources.
Conflicts of interest
The Future of Science is editorially independent. Where an author or reviewer has a relevant relationship (for example, employment by a company in the peptide space), it is disclosed on the article or author page.
