Researcher Attila Chordash reminds us that the third Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence conference starts on September 6th: "The purpose of the SENS conference series, like all the SENS initiatives (such as the journal Rejuvenation Research and the Methuselah Mouse Prize), is to expedite the development of truly effective therapies to postpone and treat human aging by tackling it as an engineering problem ... SENS3 is not an average conference in any respect and I am really happy to [participate], firstly, as this was the only conference I found where there are both good mitochondrial and stem cell biology sessions and those are my 2 major biological topics. [Secondly] there will be a lot of biogerontology presentations on aging. [Thirdly] because this is the only scientific conference that includes the heavyweight life extension supporter scholar fellows, including the organizer Aubrey de Grey or the practical life extensionist Ray Kurzweil."
