The mission of the Stanford Center on Longevity (SCL) at Stanford University is to “is to accelerate and implement scientific discoveries, technological advances, behavioral practices, and social norms so that century long lives are healthy and rewarding.” Their website (http://longevity.stanford.edu) offers interesting research articles about living a healthier long life.
To further this mission, SCL has launched its New Map of Life™ initiative. In this initiative, researchers define new models for education and lifelong learning, redesign how we work, advise new policies for health care, housing, the environment and financial security, and promote more intergenerational partnerships. It will also advance a new narrative, which redefines what it means to be “old” and values people at different stages of life. Media outlets, advertisers and the entertainment industry will play an important role in this effort by sharing stories and creating new imagery and content about longevity and aging. Read more…
Some very interesting articles on their website include:
- Research Publications, briefs, articles, reports, conference proceedsings, commentary, annual reports, books
- 2020 Century Summit, December 9th-15th, 2020 (video recordings)
