    Project 1: Growth and AgingNearly all animals live longer when dietarily restricted. The mechanism causing this slow-down of aging is not understood but is thought to stem form an optimal adjustment of metabolism and growth to nutritional conditions. This project will test this hypothesis and ask how animals compute an optimal response to dietary conditions....
