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)
