Have you ever walked into a room and not remembered what you went in there for? Spent five minutes looking for your glasses only to realize they’re on your face? We’ve all had experiences like these. We jokingly call them senior moments. They can be funny, but they also signal the decline in mental capacity that aging brings to all of us.

Researcher Mark Underwood wants you to know that you can fight back against this natural process. Mark has committed the last 12 years of his life to researching methods for thwarting the degenerative process of aging on the brain, and has found an unlikely ally, the jellyfish.

In a lively and informative interview Mark will:

• Reveal what we have in common with jellyfish that may provide a fountain of youth for the brain.

• Identify the fundamental factor in the aging process and age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

• Explain why too much of a certain kind of calcium is bad for us.

• Offer alternative solutions to the challenge of aging.
