<...I want life extension technologies developed - I want flying spaceships and android lovers - this will take many PHd's the world over - farmer joe just can't provide that. I would have much rather all these real estate agents and housing bubble money went to training people in biomedical. I haven't went back to school to contribute to this research and knowledge - who here has? You haven't have you? Why not? Don't we all want to live a long time with strong youthful bodies? Is bill gates going back to school to study DNA and make new breakthroughs in science. Howard Hughes went back to school to study genetics right? How much of your services would you give me if I could give you 1000 years of quality life?> I left semiconductor design to return to school. Earned a biochemistry degree from Portland State. I'll be joining the Neuroscience Graduate Program at OHSU in September. My primary interest is in finding therapies for slowing aging processes. For now, that research will focus on brain aging. I have a few key ideas that I'm investigating, but there is a disappointing lack of awareness that this research is out there. There are so many solid theories and potential interventions, and not nearly enough brains working on the problems. If you are serious about this, please do anything you can to raise the awareness. Talk to scientifically-inclined youth. Talk to friends, family, neighbors. Write congressmen. This quest - and solving global warming - should be the Apollo projects of our time. We need political support, people, and money. I know SIers tend to be well-educated, well-connected, and well-to-do. If you know of creative ways that I might find support for aging intervention research, please suggest them. Someday mankind will make radical leaps forward in lifespan due to our expanding knowledge of aging processes. There's no reason that day can't come within this century, but it will require many more resources than are presently deployed against the problem, and overturning the conventional wisdom that the declines associated with aging are just a normal part of life.
