Aubrey de Grey Presenting at the MIT Enterprise Forum
Biomedical gerontologist and engineered longevity advocate Aubrey de Grey presented at the MIT Enterprise Forum in March of this year. I somehow failed to notice the resulting video, despite a link to it sitting quite prominently on the SENS Foundation home page.
Aubrey de Grey, author and researcher on aging, claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging. He provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born....
Dr. de Grey holds a bachelors degree in Computer Science and a PhD, both from Cambridge University. Until 2006 he was in charge of software development at the university's Genetics Department for the FlyBase genetic database. In 1999, his book The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging was published. Then in 2007, de Grey wrote, with Michael Rae, the book Ending Aging that provides a detailed account of the science, politics and social challenges of the entire SENS agenda.
You can watch the video in a player that combines the presentation with a slideshow.
This is quite funny considering it was MIT's tech publication, Technology Review, that attempted an obviously ideologically motivated attempt to "discredit" SENS in 2005. As I recall, that attempt backfired very badly on the editors of Technology review.
