GSA Interest Group 'Societal Implications of Delaying Aging'

Greetings,

I am writing regarding one possible event at the upcoming meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) that may take place sometime between November 21 and 23 in New Orleans.

Last year we organized the GSA Interest Group meeting on 'Societal Implications of Delaying Aging' in San Diego with participation of  Drs. Felipe Sierra (NIH),  Judy Campisi (Buck Institute),  LaDora Thompson (American Aging Association, AGE) and Aubrey de Grey (SENS Foundation):

This year we can organize a similar event too, if there is enough interest and support for this idea.

Please drop me a message to (gavrilov(AT)longevity-science.org), if you are interested and can help.

Thanks!

-- Leonid
