My "Grilled Cheese" Good News/Bad News Talk (tomorrow in Kingston)

Looking forward to having an engaging conversation with 165 seniors tomorrow on the ethics of longevity science.  In my 60 minute talk I offer up what I call the “good news/bad news” grilled cheese sandwich: 

• #1.  The good news (bottom toast):  global populations are aging! (versus dying prematurely when young)
• #2.  Some bad news (melted cheese):  the global healthspan-lifespan gap is 9.6 years, and 2.4 years larger for women than men.
• #3.  Some more good news (top toast):  translational gerontology may soon deliver new health innovations that increase healthspan and shrink the duration of life spent managing multi-morbidity, frailty and disability.

Should be a fun experience!

Cheers, 

Colin
