This is not a "sit around and listen to a few presenters" sort of conference. Instead, we're going to have a bunch of small workshops where groups brainstorm about solutions to some of the challenges we face, research those solutions, and come up w/ recommendations.

Have you heard of the Methuselah Foundation Undergraduate Research Initiative?

The Methuselah Foundation Undergraduate Research Initiative is quite possibly the most impressive opportunity for undergraduate students who plan on pursuing a career in scientific research. At the time of the formation of MFURI, there was no precedent for undergraduate led research teams within the United States. Now, through the networking and support provided by the Methuselah Foundation, and the preliminary efforts made by our teams, we have made it possible for this to occur.

Imminst members are also discussing how to move this initiative along

Tune in to this Sunday's Immortality Update to discuss the MFURI and other SENS related issues with the founder of the project - Kelsey Moody.

The program begins at 5pm CDT (22:00 GMT)
