How much of that money has been donated already? i.e. how much more is needed? It's interesting stuff. It makes me wonder whether I should be studying biology

  I don't know how much SENS Foundation has raised since it diverged from the Methuselah Foundation. For the period prior to that, you can look at the Methuselah Foundation records: http://www.mfoundation.org/?pn=mj_donations_funding http://www.mfoundation.org/?pn=mj_donations_funding http://www.mfoundation.org/?pn=donors http://www.mfoundation.org/?pn=donors These are just ("just") a few millions - though I'm sure the folk reading HN will appreciate how much work went into raising those funds for a visionary project. By any account, a grand success in putting forward a new idea and bringing on board people who think the same way. Like all grand successes, it's the first step on a much longer path. (You may or may not know that one of the largest donors is Peter Thiel). In essence, SENS is still looking for the big hit, the scale up to mid-7-figures. By donating modestly now you add your name to hundreds of others who have already stepped up to help make the ramp needed for that goal.
