[Wism-l] Idea for next year's lecturer

[Jamie Rosen]

Hi all,

We need to start brainstorming ideas for next year's big lecturer. I
propose bringing Cynthia Kenyon, the biologist from UC San Francisco who
extended the lifespan of C. elegans up to six times their normal lifespan
by suppressing a single regulator gene. She believes that a similar gene
may exist in humans.

I think this lecturer would appeal to scientists and non-scientists alike.
Let me know what you all think.
