Aubrey De Grey: Why We Age and How We Can Avoid It
Date and Time: Monday, April 21, 2008 at 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Local Time (11:00 PM - 12:00 AM UTC)
Location: Paul Ebling Symposium Center, Microbial Sciences, UW-Madison - 1550 Linden Dr, Madison, WI 53706, USA | Google Maps
Description:
Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey argues that the process of aging is merely a disease, and a curable one at that. De Grey believes humans could live for centuries, if only we approach the aging process as "an engineering problem." If we get to work now, he says, humans alive today could live to be 1,000. DARTtalks were developed for UW-Madison students and are open to the general public. This event will be followed by a catered reception.
