For every $2 donated to the Methuselah Foundation's SENS research projects, $1 of this grant will be applied. We have until the end of 2009 to to exhaust this grant - so let's get to work!

The society is stepping up again, this time to raise funding for further CR research. This initiative will build upon existing relationships with talented, well known scientists to correlate gene expression and cell signaling indicators in human calorie restriction practitioners to clinical markers of health and aging.

The soil from your backyard - or the next street over, or a nearby graveyard, or the park across the way - could contain a key to advancing real anti-aging science: bacterial enzymes capable of repairing biochemical damage that accumulates with time and leads to age-related disease. LysoSENS researchers want you to send them a sample for analysis - so get digging!

For the price of a cup of coffee per day, would you like to join a select group of humanitarians who will be remembered for their vision and saving millions of lives?

Education, outreach and advocacy for healthy life extension are all very important. We at the Longevity Meme urge you to support the Immortality Institute by becoming a member.
