Welcome to Many New Members of The Three Hundred

Membership in the Methuselah Foundation's Three Hundred, dedicated folk like you and I who stand together in support of meaningful longevity research, is growing by leaps and bounds. A warm welcome to Michael Silverton, Andrew Hessel, Ryan Scott, Michael Potter, Ross Baker, Matthew W.A. Gress, Harry Huttunen and Steve Rozenblat - all of whom have stepped up within the last month to show their support for scientific research and longer, healthier lives.

Michael Silverton makes a challenge of his own:

A challenge to all IEET members, listeners, groupies, and wannabes to put your money where your sexy hyper-intellectual radical democratic ideals are. You think I can afford this? You gotta' be kidding. This is about making a sacrifice that will make the difference for our children and their children. Talk is cheap, and so is $1000/yr. when you consider the potential payoffs.

As someone who sees a great deal more talk than action in the world, I am always pleased to see sentiments of this nature. The future is ours to shape - but we have to step forward and help shape it!

On that note, I am happy to say that 138 people and organizations have joined The Three Hundred since its launch, and each is helping to change the world for the better by funding the Mprize for longevity research and the SENS science sponsored by the Methuselah Foundation.

We're well on the way to filling half of the places in the The Three Hundred, and what a milestone that will be!
