This is the third installment of our podcast-only series Remarkable Science — conversations with scientists about their work, recorded in front of an audience at WBUR’s CitySpace venue in Boston. Listen to part I and II .

In this episode: Living to 100 with Blue Zones author Dan Buettner.

Journalist, author and National Geographic fellow Dan Buettner has spent more than a decade scouring the globe with a team of anthropologists, demographers and epidemiologists to understand what he calls Blue Zones — five places he has identified where people live the longest, healthiest lives.

Hear more about Buettner's work, and what he has uncovered about how 'Blue Zone' communities can live so long, below.
