From the invitation email:



More details are on the Methuselah Foundation's SENS4 page. If you're a life extensionist and can possibly make it, you owe it to yourself to attend. In addition to the great value it'd be for you yourself to see the science close up, it's very important to have good turnout from the radical life extension community. Crazy as it sounds, not only the general public, but even many of the scientists doing key research (and especially biogerontology!) who really don't think about the implications of their work, either for aging, or even for biomedicine: do their work because they wanted to do something challenging, but only drifted into aging research (or SENS-relevant biomedicine more broadly) because that's where their opportunities came up, through the vagaries of their academic career.

Contact with you will help to awaken these people to the enormous moral responsibility that they unwittingly hold in their hands, as well as rousing the members the general public who are interested, but still somewhat in the grips of the "pro-aging trance," and whose mobilization will be key to getting more public and private investments into the core biotechnologies that we will need to finally end the blight of biological aging.

I've been to all of the SENS conferences, plus UABBA, and they have consistently been amazing, exciting, inspiring (and exhausting!) events that left me full of optimism for further progress and the sense of being right on the pulse of progress. You get to interact directly with researchers doing cutting-edge work, hear the presentation of unpublished work, and watch as scientists from different SENS-relevant fields, who often have no idea what's going on in other fields in the SENS platform, realize that they've been unwittingly participating in a revolution.

Whether or not you can go, please do your part to spread the word! You can do this on personal blogs, by email, in organizations where you work, play, or volunteer, or by whatever creative means you can come up with.

Hope to see you all there!

-Michael

Thank you! ^^
I guess I will have to email aubrey

Can the conference be sold out? I am just wondering if I need to hurry and registrate way before June 15th?

Sounds like a ripper. If I can only convince my employers to pay for the trip!

I definitely want to go. Must try to get cash together. I'm thinking that coming from Perth Australia I could get an air Asia flight to Malaysia and from there another air Asia flight to the UK... that would be the cheapest way to get there?

I'm going to buy the flight on my credit card when I find out how to get it cheap enough. I've got a few domains I might sell though to help me buy the plane ticket and I guess if I get enough for them it won't matter so much what I pay for the plane ticket and I can stop trying to weasel a few hundred off the airfare. And thanks to
the Rudd governments "Tax bonus payment" I should have the money to pay for the conference registration.

That's the most intelligent thing I could possibly imagine using that money for. Any other Aussies with me on this one?

There will be an ImmInst get-together in connection with this conference at that time in Cambridge.
All members and associates are very much welcome to attend, even if you don't plan to attend the entire conference.
Please get in touch with Shannon for details.

today is the last chance for discounted registrations!

I'll be at SENS4 for 2-3 days. Anyone know of good accommodations for under $100 USD per night in Cambridge? From past experience, any suggestions of what works best?

I really wish I could go. Unfortunately, I'm required to stay in Lund during the SENS4 days (it's my duty as president of the Student Union of Science). Will videos be available online, like last year (I assume they will)?

Accommodation as well as food and alcohol is supplied as part of the registration fee.

Thanks for the reminder Caston, however, I will not be at the conference for the full duration, thus it is not cost effective to pay the full registration (for only 2 nights stay).

List of Imminst members who will be at SENS4

Mind
Caliban
AgeVivo
Michael
Shannon
DJS
Didier

Anyone else? I know there are a few more. Let us know if you will be attending and then we can effectively plan an Imminst meeting.

I will be there.

unfortunately, I can't attend the SENS4 conference :( mabey next time...
I hope that somebody could give a report about this :-)

I'll be there, but probably won't be arriving until the day of. Hopefully the ImmInst meetup could take place during one of the nights of the conference.

I'll be there on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th, not during the week-end

I will be there.. Are we hanging around in Cambridge for a day or so after the conference?

Also Aubrey said you cane book at extra night to stay there before the conference starts.

Are you planning your travel to Europe for SENS4? Consider this too, one week later:

Life Aid Against Aging 2009, Saturday September 12th, near Brussels

send it to your friends!
