Why does the cellular machinery that works so well early in our lives start to fail as we get older? Different organisms have wildly different lifespans\, suggesting that it isn't a simple matter of "wear and tear." Researchers have learned a lot about the underlying causes of aging. Our stem cells slowly exhaust themselves\; our hormones conspire against us\; the oxygen we breathe damages our DNA - and this is just a partial list. We're beginning to understand how these many factors are coordinated\, but we still have a long way to go. There's also a practical motivation for studying aging. Chronological age is the greatest risk factor for many life-threatening illnesses: cancers\, Alzheimer's\, diabetes\, heart disease\, stroke\, and others. What is the connection between aging and disease? By studying the fundamental mechanisms of aging\, might we learn how to treat all age-related diseases simultaneously? What does this tell us about how we set funding priorities for biomedical research? Finally: Is significant lifespan extension a realistic possibility - within our lifetimes\, or ever? What are the ethical\, sociological\, and existential issues raised by the prospect of a vastly extended human lifespan? Chris will be in conversation with our favorite science comedian\, Brian Malow (http://www.sciencecomedian.com) URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4844258/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4844258/ DTSTAMP:20091106T163950 LAST-MODIFIED:20091106T163950 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/4368/ LOCATION;ALTREP="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/16654/":Atlas Cafe @ 3049 20th Street\, San Francisco\, California END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091118T100000 DURATION:PT0S TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:Harbour Creekies: Managing Chichester Harbour Talk DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4235790/ ] An indoor session in the warmth and dry of the Education Room at the Lifeboat Station on Hayling\, hearing about Chichester Harbour and the role of the Conservancy in managing this busy recreational harbour and Area of outstanding Natural Beauty.Parking next to lifeboat station.
