Details
Sorry for the short notice, but we're fortunate to have Aubrey de Grey visiting the Bay Area in early February and agreeing to talk with our group.
As you all know, Aubrey is the Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer for the Methuselah Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to accelerating the development of foreseeable, science-based therapies to combat aging.
One of the primary activities of the Methuselah Foundation is running the MPrize, a scientific research prize aimed at encouraging scientists to find a way to reverse the aging process.

"Excellent. I have heard Aubrey speak at least 3 other times, but tonight he was talking to an audience that had mostly heard him before, so he was able to skip the intro and go into more details and more recent progress. "
