Coming up this Tuesday, an interview with Maria Konovalenko, aging researcher and vice president at Science For Life Extension Foundation.

 

I will find out more about her current research and the status of the Science for Life Extension Foundation's recent activities.

 

If you have any questions for Maria, please post them here in advance and I will be sure to ask them.

The link doesn't work.

[Mind]

Strange, the link works for me. It is to the foundation's facebook page.

 

Here is the link to their website: http://scienceagains.../index_ENG.html

[Antonio2014]

Thanks for the second link. That works.

A while back in another topic I was wondering about an important issue of the life extension movement, that is its community's small size, and mentioned her speech with a similar topic:

... about a recent speech of a Russion life extension activist Maria Konovalenko, titled the 'Dark matter of Transhumanism', that is 'Why hasn't the movement won (yet)?'. She calls it the dark matter, because, as she says: "It's something that we cannot explain and we don't understand."
And I must admit it's hard to understand, truly.

I wanted to ask her about this in the Introduction subforum, but perhaps here would be better. Namely that:
Has she (or they, the foundation) any updates on this thing? Could she/they figure out something about the possible underlying causes and possible solutions?

Definitely ask Maria

- about the longevity cook book; how it's going, when we can expect it, etc

- what she's been up to lately apart from the cook book (i.e. conferences, research, outreach)

- what upcoming trials, research, projects she's looking forward to the most

I would be glad to hear her opinion on

-methionine restriction

-and of course, her current own anti-aging strategy

Her current anti - aging strategy may be the roadmap to immortality, that was made by her, (or by the anti - aging foundation, that she participates). The roadmap has tried to collect all the possible ways of development of the technologies, that can make us immortal.

Great! Thanks for the questions everyone.

I would like to ask the following:

 

What can be done internationally so all these separate efforts are somehow consolidated and we actually have REAL progress in age reversal in next few years?

 

We see lots of research, but it is disparrated. On top of that some of the research is just "theoretical" and after couple years nobody is picking up on those initial studies. So I would like us to focus on

bringing as much a possible, and as soon as possible, real solutions to humans and our pets.

 

thanks.

I would ask her about the Russian Longevity Party. Is it becoming popular? What activities it did? Has it influenced research?

I podcast is recorded and should be available in a day or two. I was able to get in all of your questions in one form or another.

The first 5 minutes cover successes with the Science for Life Extension Foundation and reasons why the Longevity Party has not materialized as expected. After the 10 minute mark more about the Longevity Cookbook and supplementation. Not too much additional information on methionine restriction.

[Musli]

Great podcast. Thanks a lot, Mind.

[smccomas01]

Great I would be interested in the cook book
