Klein by Jonathan Despres Tell us about yourself and your projects? Currently, I chair the Immortality Institute, a non-profit educational organization with the mission to overcome involuntary death. Also, I'm co-founder of a software company located in Bethesda, MD. My current project is to complete a science documentary called, Exploring Life Extension, which has its first screening at the Immortality Institute's Nov 5 Life Extension Conference in Atlanta.

What is your background, and what current projects are you involved in? It took me a while to figure out what academic discipline to call home. I went from physics to philosophy of science to artificial intelligence to Bayesian statistics to economics to political science to health policy. Along the way I also studied hypertext publishing (i.e., what is now the web) and future technologies. Today I am a tenured professor of economics at George Mason University. (You can do a lot of things and call it economics!) I helped to found the field of prediction/information markets, and continue to work in that area. I also study the the nature and rationality of disagreements.
