If you fantasize about the swingin’ life of a freshwater hydra, check out this conference at the University of California-Riverside this weekend. It’s being webcast:
Preliminary results of scientific research related to immortality – such as phenomena related to near-death experiences, immortality in virtual reality, and genes that prevent a species of freshwater hydra from aging – will be presented at a conference for researchers …
The conference, “The Science of Immortality,” will bring together members of 10 international teams that received grants totaling $2.4 million last year from The Immortality Project to collaborate with other researchers about their work in progress.
It’s funded by a $5 million grant from the Templeton Foundation, which says it funds “research and discoveries relating to the Big Questions of human purpose and ultimate reality.”
The foundation has previously funded a research project interviewing college students about their “search for meaning and purpose.”
