I can't comment on the merit of this particular study. I just don't have the backround. I have watched this institute since its inception. The institute is beautiful. It resides on acres of beautiful land. It was basically funded with Beryl Buck Trust funds. I really thought they would do great things that would add to science. I don't know what this institute has added to science and age research. I sometimes think it's just a place where rich kids can do internships, while scientists play with worms? Play with nematodes--I just hope your institute is really doing something, and not just a playground? That money could have helped a lot if needy Marin county residents. Yes, we have a huge homeless problem. Why am I questioning the Buck Center for Aging? Because I don't think this is what Berly Buck wanted to do with her husbands money. Right from her trust, "used for exclusively nonprofit, charitable, religious or educational purposes in providing care for the needy in Marin County, Calif., and for other nonprofit charitable, religious or educational purposes in that county." My point is every once and awhile I hear something out of this Institute. "Ibuprofen increase the lifespan of worms." I just wonder if the money could have been spent elsewhere? When you write out a trust, make it iron tight. Lawyers will rip it apart. Good luck Buck Institute with your future! I think you should do a better job at Puplic Relations though. There's so much grant money out there ripe for the taking? I really like organizations that have no affiliation to business entities.
