Hate to break it to you like this, but every day, millions of the cellular building blocks that form your body are dying, sacrificing themselves to maintain your health. Witness the exciting final moments of a cell's life as it dances with death.

Demographically speaking, getting older is a global trend. Everyone's doing it! But what is involved in the biological process of ageing and why focus on extending healthspan rather than lifespan? All will be revealed in this fascinating talk.

Dr Quinn is an RMIT Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow studying how ageing impacts the immune system. She recently received the John and Eileen Haddon Award for Geriatric Research and has appeared at Nerd Nite and on RRR with Einstein-A-Go-Go.
