Life expectancy in the United States is radically longer now compared to a hundred years ago. Researcher Laura Carstensen studies what life is like during our later years. She’s Director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, and spoke with Aspen Public Radio’s Elise Thatcher about exploring what we can do with longer lives.
Editor's note: Carstensen is speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival this summer. You can hear more of this conversation later today at 3:30pm. That’s in our special series, Spotlight Health, in partnership with the Aspen Ideas Festival. We'll also post a web version of the program later today.
