Did you ever try
to see how your
research findings are discussed by others, not just in scientific
papers, but also in the media?
Recently
we have explored the
media
reports out of curiosity, and we have found that this is very
interesting and sometimes even an entertaining experience!
Here is the
list of media coverage for our longevity studies (with weblinks to
original text provided, see below). It turned out that feature stories
about our scientific findings were published in Science,
The
Scientist,
New Scientist,
The
New York Times, Washington
Post,
Sunday
Times London, The
Guardian (UK) , Reuters
, The
Telegraph (UK) , The
Independent (London) and in a
dozen of other editions listed below.
It was
surprising and rewarding to observe such level of media interest to our
studies! We hope that this media attention perhaps could help us to
find a philanthropic support to continue these important longevity
studies. Please drop us a note if you can advise us on this issue.
Thanks! Kind regards,
Could Your Birthday Predict Your Fate ?
