PRESIDENT’S PLENARY SESSION
Saturday, November 19 10:00 am—11:30 am Grand Ballroom (Sheraton Boston)
GSA welcomes internationally recognized explorer and National Geographic writer, Dan Buettner, as the keynote speaker for the 64th
Annual Scientific Meeting’s Opening
Session. Buettner is The New York Times best- selling author of The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest.
Dan and his team of researchers have traveled
across the globe to discover Blue Zones—hotspots of human health and vitality. Along the way he’s met people teeming with vigor at age 100 and beyond. Working with the National Institute on Aging, he identified five small populations with the world’s highest life expectancy. Then, working with second team of scientists, he isolated the common denominators that explain extraordinary longevity. His presentation incorporates National Geographic images that will take attendees into the world’s five Blue Zones, tell stories and instruct how to get more life from your years and more years from your life.
