On Sunday, July 7, 2024, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invited Diego Zarco to share his knowledge of cryonics standby and stabilization. He is starting the first Standby and Stabilization Team for cryonics in Mexico, with the goal of eventually replicating the model in other countries and ensuring that cryonics becomes a more reliable procedure in every city of the world.
Diego Zarco is the Founder and Stabilization Team Director in Mexico for the Advanced Cryogenics Institute (Instituto de Criogenia Avanzada – https://www.institutodecriogeniaavanzada.com/), Social Media Manager for Latin America at Cryoprize – https://www.cryoprize.com/ – and Voting Member at the Latin GRAMMYs.
