Aging has nearly universal quantitative patterns
We explain them using a stochastic ode for damage production and removal, deduced from experiments on damage dynamics in mice and in individual bacteria, the latter done by us. This simple model explains a wide range of phenomena in human aging and age related diseases. The talk will assume no knowledge in biology.
