A recent talk by the man who inspired me.  Aubrey de Grey – Remember whethor or not we agree with his ideas on anti-aging research is not the point. At the very least he is the worlds LEADING advocate for anti-aging research. He has spent a great deal of his time and money educating the public on the topic and I am very grateful.

Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic prosthetics inspired by nature’s own designs. Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Lab’s Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk that’s both technical and deeply personal — with the help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED stage.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

Fast forward 3 years and I am at my second university (advancement). I am doing very well (fingers crossed) in the Biology department. My goals are clearly set, and I believe I have beginning to be “known” for what I am wanting to accomplish. (lie to me)

Looking back, I believe this is the video the first got me thinking about regenerative medicine and the possibility of making that research my life. I still not have not formed a personal opinion on Dr. de Grey, or his work. (I have not met him mind you) but at the very least he has been very inspiring (among others).

Here it is for your viewing pleasure. 🙂

Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the Chief Science Officer of SENS Foundation, a charity dedicated to combating the aging process. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Rejuvenation Research, the world’s highest-impact peer-reviewed journal focused on intervention in aging. His research targets the accumulating and eventually pathogenic molecular and cellular side-effects of metabolism that constitute mammalian aging and the design of interventions to repair or obviate them. His comprehensive plan breaks aging down into seven major classes and identifies detailed approaches to addressing each one. Dr. de Grey is a Fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the American Aging Association, and sits on the editorial and scientific advisory boards of numerous journals and organisations.
