Abigail Trafford is possibly one of the most knowledgeable people in the media on the subject of longevity. A former Health Editor of the Washington Post and an award-winning journalist, she has covered stories ranging from the landings on the moon and the emergence of AIDS to the rise of genetics and the political battles over health care. She is also the author of three books on the subject of ageing and its implications. And she has been a Journalism Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health and a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University’s Center on Longevity too.
Ms Trafford is scheduled to speak in the opening plenary session of OEB Global on the 7 December in Berlin and she is in no doubt that longevity is a major issue for both political leaders and educationalists.
