Vera Gorbunova

Vera Gorbunova concentrates in particular her researches on the naked rat-mole, an underground rodent of East Africa who can live up to 10 times longer that a mouse of the same size, that was elected "vertebrate of the year" in 2013 by Sciences magazine. In this talk, Vera explains us why such an animal lives much longer than others of its species. Some perspectives for humans?
