Aubrey de Grey on living to 150 or beyond using biotechnology
Posted by Steve Hill in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Our guest for this show is Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., and he refuses to accept aging as something we can not change. Aubrey is a Biomedical Gerontologist and Chief Scientific Officer of The SENS Research Foundation. I talk more about his background and the SENS Foundation in the interview. Aubrey has put forth a model for aging based on seven types of damage that occur as a product of aging. We discuss this model and the techniques the possibly address each category of damage. This interview is longer than the other thus far but it had me gripped the entire time so enjoy!

The Universe Might Have a Delete Button — and It Could Destroy Physics as We Know It
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: physics, space
