How can we persuade and educate the wider public about the importance of ageing research?

There have been great strides in recent research, but while the science is consistently improving the greatest barrier to rapid progress remains lagging public interest. Many people remain baffled or at best vaguely interested in longevity efforts. We must therefore find ways to educate and persuade the public that tackling aging is feasible and beneficial to wider society. This can be achieved through projects such as The Longevity Reporter; explaining complex science in a clear and relatable manner to those without a scientific background.
