The Advancing Science of Slowing Aging   

Session I: Feb. 12, 19, 26, Mar. 5
Wednesdays 3:45 - 5:00 pm
Science is tackling aging on a broad front. Not only is it seeking to cure the specific diseases of aging like heart disease, Alzheimer’s and kidney disease, it is searching for ways to slow, halt or even reverse aging. Aging has been successfully slowed in many animals and even reversed (temporarily) using advanced techniques. Even in humans! We will review where the science is today and where it might go tomorrow. Along the way, tips will be provided on how you can improve your life expectancy (hint: you already know a lot of them).
Instructor Ray Collins was raised in the Alaskan Bush. He has 3 degrees from UAF so far, and is now working on a PhD studying aging.
