22 October, 7pm
In search of eternal youth?
Richard Faragher
What is ageing? Are we programmed to age? Do we have biological clocks
that science could help us to reset? Already, more of us than ever are
living to old age but, as life spans extend, will our "health span" keep up?
Will scientific research help to enhance the quality of life in our later
years and can our political, economic and social institutions cope with an
ageing population? Tonight’s speaker, Richard Faragher, is going to discuss
ageing research, a rapidly growing scientific field that has profound
implications for the whole of society. Dr Richard Faragher is a Senior
Research Fellow at Brighton University and the Treasurer of the British
Society for Research on Ageing.
Come along, air your views, ask questions or just listen. Join us at 7pm in
the Nash Room, Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Mall, London (£5,4,3
admission). No scientific background required. Box office and ticket
