‘SENS’ can hardly be described as A “life extension technology”. I think you ought to be clear that it’s a project, a collection of strategies incorporating many technologies. I’m sure you didn’t mean to, but let’s not make this a cargo cult science (’the SENS technology is gonna save us all!’…)
Also, I cannot fail but notice how bad the acoustic in Oxford’s museums is. They should’ve had the interview in the Fitzwilliam instead…

Changed to “approach”.

Okay, am I the only person to find the usernym “L” in a post about combating death to be a bit.. anime-esque? (Deathnote)

Haha… No, I have an intuition “L” means something else and that it’s purely co-incidental. ;-0

I didn’t know that anime, seriously. But I like how that character apparently is “snacking on sweets constantly”.

The term ‘SENS technology’ could make sense, using it could describe any technology that accomplishes something within the SENS strategy, it doesn’t really imply that SENS itself is a technology, were you paraphrasing or were the double quotes actually a direct quote? In which case, good job pointing it out it’s true it is a slight mistake.
