After a lot of patient explanation, publication of scientific results, conferences, and time, our community persuaded enough scientists of the feasibility of the damage repair approach to move SENS and SENS Research Foundation from the fringes of scientific respectability to the vanguard of a mainstream community of scientists developing medical therapies to tackle human aging.

  • How to Think and Act Rationally
    1 How to Be Rational: How to Think and Act Rationally David Robert [email protected] Abstract: This paper is divided into 4 sections. In Sections 1 and 2, I address (1) how to acquire rational belief attitudes and (2) how to make rational choices. Building on Sections 1 and 2, I then answer two of the most pressing questions of our time: (3) Should you be skeptical of climate change? (4) Should you invest in life-extension medical research? It has always appalled me that really bright scientists almost all work in the most competitive fields, the ones in which they are making the least difference. In other words, if they were hit by a truck, the same discovery would be made by somebody else about 10 minutes later. —Aubrey de Grey To make rational choices involves choosing courses of action that best serve one’s ends. As a good example, one’s chances of having a positive impact on the world are significantly greater if one focuses one’s efforts on solving the world’s biggest, most urgent problems than if one focuses one’s efforts on solving comparatively small, non-urgent problems that will not ultimately matter in the long run if the biggest, most urgent problems are left unsolved. Therefore, if one’s goal is to make a difference in the world, then it is simply not rational to focus one’s efforts on solving comparatively small, non-urgent problems. It is true that functioning societies do need people working on comparatively small day- to-day problems.

Our research is integrated with wide-ranging outreach and education programs. Our goal is to see the emergence of an industry that will cure the diseases of aging, an industry based around what we call rejuvenation biotechnology. Many things go wrong with aging bodies, but at the root of them all is the burden of decades of unrepaired damage to the cellular and molecular structures that make up the functional units of our tissues. Faced with the diseases and disabilities caused by this damage, today’s medicine is too often reduced to crisis management in the emergency room, painfully harsh treatments for diseases such as cancer, or best efforts at palliative care.

    Scientific Programme Monday, 09 September 2019 [BC]2 Session , University of Basel Seminarraum 106 09:00 - 16:00 T1: Using the Ensembl REST APIs to programmatically access genomic data Room Seminarraum 106 Overview The Ensembl project provides a comprehensive and integrated source of annotation of genome sequences, including genes, genetic variation, features that regulate gene expression, homologues and alignments. These data are accessible programmatically in a language agnostic manner via the Ensembl REST APIs. Scripting against public databases like Ensembl facilitates quick retrieval of valuable data in your preferred format or can be integrated into pipelines for data analysis. This tutorial is aimed at researchers and developers interested in exploring Ensembl beyond the website. The workshop covers how to use the Ensembl REST APIs, including understanding the major endpoints and how to write scripts to call them. Feedback from previous courses •“Wish I had taken the course long time ago. Didn’t know before how good and powerful APIs are!” API workshop, EMBL-EBI, January 2016 •“I really enjoyed the course, and the ENSEMBL API will become a very relevant part of my toolset.” API workshop, Cambridge, December 2013 Audience and requirements The tutorial is aimed at bioinformatics and wet-lab researchers who use genomic data and would like to use scripting to access these data directly, including integrating into pipelines. This is a hands-on training course and participants will need to bring a laptop with WiFi enabled in order to take part. Participants must be able to code in Python, Perl or R. The training will utilise Jupyter Notebooks hosted by Microsoft Azure – to use these all participants will need to have a free Microsoft Account.

  • Hormonal Rejuvenation Course Aubrey De Grey-A Roadmap To
    Hormonal Rejuvenation Course Aubrey de Grey-A Roadmap To End Aging F. Karl Weddige Panama College of Cell Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements of course 616 August 25, 2014 HORMONAL REJUVENATION – 2015 ASSIGNMENT #1 STUDENT: KARL WEDDIGE Essay Questions (1) Please re-read the Syllabus and watch the video featuring Aubrey de Grey which is found there. Please write a brief report giving your impressions of the content and also of Aubrey de Grey: What is his main premise? How good are his facts…meaning, is he convincing? What do you conclude from viewing this video? Has the video made you think differently about aging? What do you make of this video?? Note: We are just having some fun as an introduction to the course…not looking for a scientific paper here. Aubrey de Grey is not an unintelligent man - In fact, some might suggest that he is a deep thinking genius while others criticize his scientific prowess. De Grey is a Biomedical Gerontologist who holds a PhD in Biology from Cambridge University, was a computer scientist prior to receiving his PhD, and is the founder of multiple scientific foundations (SENS Research Foundation, Methuselah Foundation). The lyrics of the song “Forever Young” by the musical group Alphaville are purely indicative of Aubrey de Greys premise behind his research: “A Roadmap to End Aging”. …Some are like water, some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later they all will be gone Why don't they stay young? It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth's like diamonds in the sun, And diamonds are forever So many adventures given up today, So many songs we forgot to play.

Top-30 Longevity Conferences 2019-2020 Profiles 28 Disclaimer 60 Introduction 3 With the rapid development of the Longevity industry, the number of events dedicated to this topic has increased proportionately. These events differ in a number of ways including target audience, central topics being covered, entrance fee range, location, venue, etc. Potential participants need to be aware of such conferences details while planning which conferences to attend. This report aims to serve as a guide in this type of decision making, which also includes a cost-benefit analysis of the conferences themselves. The report presents the Top-30 conferences related to Longevity, providing key facts and figures on each. The Top-30 conferences chosen for this list, from 150 Longevity-themed conferences in total, satisfy the following criteria: ● They are well attended, with a large number of speakers as well as participants ● They include at least one panel on the topic of Longevity ● They feature speakers who are professionals in the industry As a number of conferences for 2020 have not yet been announced, we expect to be updating the report regularly, increasing both the number of the conferences covered and the quantity of information on them.
