Synopsis

Discover how the body measures time in ways calendar clocks cannot, through wound healing and blood chemistry.

Biological Time explores methods to quantify physiological time and how it varies with age.

You’ll find clear explanations of the experiments and ideas that connect everyday life to a deeper sense of time.

What you’ll experience
  • Simple explanations of how healing rates reveal age-related changes in the body
  • An accessible look at how blood serum alters its effect on tissue growth over a lifetime
  • A discussion of how different definitions of time relate to human life and aging
