A reminder that the Aging and Healthy Lifespan Conference will be held on September 23rd - next month - at Harvard Medical School. "Over the next 20 years, the population of Americans over age 65 is expected to double, and health care spending is projected to increase by 25%. With an aging society, it is crucial to understand the challenges and address the opportunities to target diseases of aging, such as cancer and type 2 diabetes, to allow people to live longer, healthier lives. ... Hear leading experts discuss emerging research into scientific and medical advances in aging, as well as lifestyle and demographic trends. This first-ever conference will feature two speaker tracks. One track will focus on new research and insights in the science of aging including updates on the exciting science behind sirtuins and resveratrol. The second track will feature emerging social trends in lifestyles, behaviors and activities of the aging population." Note that longevity science advocate Aubrey de Grey and a number of speakers from the Calorie Restriction Society will be there, alongside researchers whose names I'm sure you'll recognize.
