We're not getting any younger... yet.
The Buck Institute
Why do some of us age gracefully and others don’t? How do our bodies and minds experience aging at the cellular and molecular level? Why do we even age to begin with? And maybe most importantly, can we do anything about it? Join hosts Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute in California, and Brianna Stubbs, Director of Translational Science at the Buck, as they speak with some of the brightest scientific stars on the planet to search for – and actually find answers to – these questions and many more.

Steve Austad: Why do we age?
When we think of aging, we typically think of human aging, but the biological processes that cause cellular damage are shared by many species. Few people have investigated the biology of aging across the animal kingdom as deeply as researcher and author Steve Austad. In our first episode, Steve and host Gordon Lithgow explore some fundamental questions: What makes some animals live longer than others? What can we learn from other species to age better? And why do we age at all in the first place?Support the show
