The Santa Barbara community enjoyed an evening of music by the Santa Barbara Symphony and a lecture by renowned longevity scientist, Cynthia Kenyon. 

April 6, 2023

Combining music and lecture, this event celebrated the inauguration of the Center for Aging and Longevity Studies (CALS) at UCSB, which brings together researchers, scholars, and educators from multiple disciplines in an effort to improve the human experience by augmenting healthspan, ameliorating age-related diseases, advancing the vitality of an aging population, and investigating the societal impact of extended longevity. Dr. Kenyon described her pioneering discoveries about genes regulating the aging clock, and how to connect with the fountain of youth.
