Caloric Restriction Workshop
Are you interested in caloric restriction and its relevant research? Do you want to learn how to limit calories in pursuit of greater longevity?
The Caloric Restriction Society is sponsoring a workshop in Tarrytown, New York, from August 10-12. The workshop will cover the newest scientific discoveries about the practice of caloric restriction and teach you how to incorporate the practice into your lifestyle. The workshop is a benefit for those who contribute to a milestone research project looking into the effects of calorie restriction on humans.

Alcor and cryonics are discussed near the end of this Newsweek article. We found mention of the information theoretic criterion of death particularly interesting.
