basic info

[Mark Ungrin]

I just read a couple of postings here from people with basic questions 
about ageing

I am interested in ageing research, but, at least as an undergrad, 
information about current molecular biological - type theories about 
ageing is quite scarce

my university only has one course on ageing, and it's being taught for 
arts students who need a science credit, on a sort of "ageing is what 
happens when you get old" level

I am interested in any responses to the questions asked in the two recent 
postings, particularly responses from people doing current research, and 
I also have a few wonderings of my own:  for someone who's interested in 
this field, where's a good place to do graduate work?  Do you think 
getting an MD (vs a PhD) is a good idea, if I am mainly interested in the 
molecular biology?  Is there a good university-text-book like reference 
out there for ageing research?  What are the available opportunities for 
undergraduate internships?

Thanks for your time

Mark
