The Understanding Aging conference will be held in Los Angeles in late June, and the early registration and abstract submission deadlines are only two weeks away. By mail from conference organizer Aubrey de Grey: "The program has over two dozen confirmed speakers, all of them world leaders in their field.

You'll recognize many of the names on the conference agenda - an assembly of leaders in their fields and people of influence.
