About this Event

Welcome to the RBC Manchester event, where we'll be diving into Febuary's theme, LONGEVITY, through this month's read, Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity, by Nicklas Brendborg.

Jellyfish Age Backwards is “a highly-entertaining journey through the science of longevity. Why we age and what we can do about it, explained in a clear and captivating way. A wonderful book” - Dr Kris Verbugh, Author of The Longevity Code

Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Omar is the founder of an AI startup and also pursuing a PhD in Behavioural AI. One big reason Omar joined RBC is to get away from academic literature, gain knowledge in areas outside of his interests and to have engaging conversations with the awesome community.

There is a clear alliance with the philosophy and taste of RBC as Omar has already read 70% of the books from the Rebel Book Club library!
