Bill Kole, author of THE BIG 100: The New World of Super Aging, recently retired as New England editor for The Associated Press but continues to work as an editor for Axios
By 2050, the world's centenarian population — those aged 100 or more — will increase eightfold. Whether we're 18 or 81, this tectonic demographic shift will affect us all.
Bill will discuss important questions of longevity including : How long can we live? How long should we live? And what happens when 65 is merely a life half-lived? The Big 100 explores the most pressing questions of our super-aging future and offers a glimpse of a reality that awaits us, our children, and our grandchildren.
