The Methuselah Foundation now has an annual research funding budget of several million dollars, de Grey says, and it's beginning to show lab results that he thinks will turn scientists' heads.
What's more, other researchers have also found some success pursuing similarly structured research programs. For example, late last year, the Buck Institute for Age Research received $25 million from the National Institutes of Health to establish a home for the "new scientific discipline of geroscience." The new field, and its research institute, are dedicated to proactively fighting aging with researchers from a dizzying array of fields.
Hooray for head-turning lab results!

It wasn't head-turning lab results that led to this WIRED article, though.
It was PR, organizing the speakers event last Friday, and other hard work behind the scenes. None of which had to do with lab stuff.
And without lab results (and lab work), all the PR in the world wouldn't matter. It's symbiotic, you see.
