When a New Year approaches, we often try to summarize what has happened during the ending year.

Amazingly, this year our longevity studies have received media coverage by the New Scientist magazine, Reuters, ABC News, MSNBC News, Washington Post, Forbes, Daily Telegraph (UK), CBC News (Canada), The Sun (UK), Chicago Sun-Times (USA), Daily Mail (UK), Los Angeles Times (USA), This is London (UK), Newsday (USA), and many other news outlets.
