Aubrey de Grey has been one of my greatest real life heroes for years now! Thank you so much for sharing this with the steemit community. I've upvoted and followed you for this as you seem to be following this even closer than I am.
I think anyone who doesn't already know about this truly awesome field of work needs to know about it.

I have been following Aubrey's career since the beginning of this century. IMHO his work has been pivotal in bringing about the recent surge in anti-aging research despite a climate of government funding cutbacks (in the United States) and global recession.

At the SENS 2 scientific conference, I had the pleasure of speaking with him a couple of times and I thoroughly believe in the sincerity of his ambition to end aging ASAP. Off hand, I can't think of anyone that is working harder for something most important to me - a healthy extended lifespan. As Betterhumans columnist Dale Carrico once said, "He's a transhumanist superstar."

I agree that more people need to know about rejuvenation biotechnology and de Grey's SENS in particular, if only for the hope it provides. Moreover, de Grey's SENS plan is a hard nosed scientific approach to engineering negligible senescence for humanity, albeit disruptive to the status quo. It deserves our recognition and support
