Understanding Aging Conference on FriendFeed!
Posted by attilachordash on June 15, 2008
The “Understanding Aging: Biomedical and Bioengineering Approaches” conference will be held from June 27-29, 2008 at UCLA organized by Aubrey de Grey, Irina Conboy and Amy Wagers. I like to call it UndertsEnding Aging in myself and I am excited to go to LA and meet new people also people from SENS3.
Yesterday I created a FriendFeed room for the conference as it seems to be a perfect place of live microblogging the conference, sharing any kind of links, videos, comments, feeds and feedbacks. Working on aging and the postponement of it (you can bravely say life extension) is always a pioneering work so it’s time to use pioneering web apps for that purpose, just like FriendFeed.
Aubrey de Grey, Kevin Perrott and Kevin Dewalt have already joined the room. What about you? See you on FriendFeed, see you on LA!

Cool! I just joined!
Also, I created a longevity FF room a while back that you might be interested in: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/longevity

I would like to start an investment oriented company investing peoples money (less my commissions) in the technologies that will enable longevity through regenerative medicine – and thus I’ll be able to afford such medicine as soon as it arrives – and an investment proposition it would not be too hard to sell.
Stocks would go up like microsoft.
But will those with a vested interest in death ever allow such medical advances to become public?
