Aging and Healthy Lifespan Conference
Some of the better known folk in the aging research community will be speaking at a conference held at Harvard this September: "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. The Aging and Healthy Lifespan Conference will address these timely issues. 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, while the second track will feature emerging social trends in lifestyles, behaviors and activities of the aging population." I believe this is associated with the Alliance for Aging Research, and therefore much in line with the longevity dividend viewpoint.
