         happy new year!
         
        Looking back... 
         
        Fundraiser success! Even well before
        its deadline on New Years Eve, the matching fundraiser coordinated by
        LongeCity’s former Director Reason has  successfully concluded with a
        record-breaking amount. 
        
         
        The good people at SENS Foundation will be thrilled and
        challenged to leverage this funding to optimum effect in a dynamic
        scientific landscape. Thus, while we often look back at the year in the January newsletter, it
        may be much more interesting to, again, rely on Reason to share his look
        back at longevity science in 2015.   
         
        ...and looking ahead 
         
         
        Every year around this time, we are prepping plans for the year
        ahead and we ask for “ideas and idealists” – that means we are not
        just looking for suggestions about what could be done, but also for the
        people who are ready to step up and do it.  
         
        The internal conversations
        from previous years are still very relevant and Immortality
        Institute Members are warmly invited to add to them further- But, this
        year, I’d like to try a very focused effort at consultation that
        involves specifically those who can envisage leading projects and
        getting involved in LongeCity governance.  
        Our latest members
        invite scheme plays a part in this – so if you can think of
        talented people (whether established in the life-extension community or
        still discovering the idea) who are not currently present at LongeCity
        NOW would be the time to nominate them.  
        Any Members who are happy and interested in co-determining our plans for 2016
         please register
        here. 
        
         
         
        One thing that really picked up in 2015 was our long-standing podcast.
        We are now planning a new line-up of  interesting guests
        to be interviewed on the show - please share your suggestions.
