Originally he was 'testing out' material for a book on the mouse industry and laboratory testing. A lot of mice were killed every year doing all manner of tests and it was interesting to him but a few months in he wrote The Rise Of The Methuselah Mouse, about mouse studies and anti-aging. And that was interesting to everyone.
It was fascinating stuff and the first time I really paid attention to caloric restriction. Two years later he has a whole book on the science and the claims of the anti-aging industry, Eternity Soup: Inside The Quest To End Aging(available at fine retailers everywhere, or at that link if you want us to make a nickel), and this morning he was featured on Wisconsin Public Radio with Joy Cardin.
