The Methuselah Foundation Blog

Michael Yamashita's Blog Scan

For some time now, Methuselah Foundation volunteer Michael Yamashita has put together regular blog scans for the volunteer mailing list - and very useful they are too. He has also produced some interesting reports on trends in viewpoints and commentary on healthy life extension over the past months. We will see about formatting and publishing these in the near future. The scans omit the material that appears in blogs on the MPrize home page since we all know about those, right? Here is the latest:
