Sea elegance has a lot of lovely ways to be able to avoid a disappearing. And so in times of real, really stressful conditions, it will go alternative developmental state called dower. Now, and that's regulated by temperature and food and crowding conditions. But again, if we go back to daf too, you don't have to do that. You don’t have to go through that state in order to live a long time. So dieting works well to extend life, exactl hardio and diet he acts perfectly well for sea elegante - but all of those will cause the animal to have fewer progeny, right?

Aging -- everybody does it, very few people actually do something about it. Coleen Murphy is an exception. In her laboratory at Princeton, she and her team study aging in the famous C. Elegans roundworm, with an eye to extending its lifespan as well as figuring out exactly what processes take place when we age. In this episode we contemplate what scientists have learned about aging, and the prospects for ameliorating its effects -- or curing it altogether? -- even in human beings. Coleen Murphy received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Stanford University, and is currently Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute of Integrative Genomics at Princeton.
