My chronological age is 61, but am I an oldish 61 or a youngish 61? A few weeks ago, I wrote about Index and how it determines biological age by measuring DNA methylation. You can read more about the test, and the science behind it here. The question we...

This is another example of people seeing what is needed and stepping up with imaginative solutions to solve a critical problem. We mentioned in the AGEIST newsletter a few weeks back about the critical health needs of the Navajo reservation.  One of our readers, Dr Ruth Zimmer, already having helped...

 Eugenia Zukerman worked hard and juggled it all — performing, writing, interviewing artists, directing concert series — with ease and grace, until a few years ago.
