From Longevity to Vitality: Applying the Science of Aging
HAUSER POLICY IMPACT WEBINAR SERIES: WEBINAR #1
The U.S. is aging—fast. Are we ready?
Join us for the kickoff of a compelling three-part webinar series that applies insights from the social and behavioral sciences to one of the most urgent challenges of our time: supporting healthier, more connected lives as we age. Sponsored by the Hauser Policy Impact Fund, these webinars work to connect social science analysis and synthesis to help guide evidence-based policy decisions.
In this opening webinar, we explore:
- How we learn and adapt as we grow older
- Strategies to boost cognitive health and healthy aging across the lifespan
- The profound public health impacts of loneliness and isolation
- What policymakers at all levels can do today to support aging populations
Drawing on past work, including Reducing the Impact of Dementia in America, Addressing the Impact of COVID-19 on Social Isolation and Loneliness, and How People Learn II, this session will connect science with practical, actionable insights for communities and governments.
Panelists include:
- Margaret Beier, Rice University
- Thomas Cudjoe, Johns Hopkins University
- Mark Hayward, University of Texas
- Anna Heard, National Governors Association
- David Parkes, AARP
Kristine Yaffe, University of California, San Francisco
