Bringing together insights from four Future Leaders Fellowship funded projects, ranging from metabolomics and forensic science to bioarchaeology and the health humanities, our stand explores biological ageing.

Our interactive exhibit “How old am I really? How brains, bones and molecules can reveal your biological age” demonstrates how biological age can be measured and how these assessments can be used for health research (to improve life and health span predictions), for forensic applications (to help solve crime), and for archaeology (to understand the lives and health of our ancestors). Representing SAACY, Laura will lead an intervention that provokes discussion about how thinking in terms of biological ageing may influence views on ageing.
