How to extend life - and where the science stands

Princeton molecular biologist Coleen Murphy explains what you can do now, which pharmaceutical is having an unexpected effect on longevity, and what may available in the next few years.

Murphy also talks about the science of predicting how long we'll live, and how to maximize the number of years that you're healthy.

Plus, she explains why the Trump administration's cuts to the National Institutes of Health are setting back longevity research - which may mean that the next big breakthrough comes from China.

Murphy is the author of "How We Age: The Science of Longevity" from Princeton University Press.
