First Year Discovery Seminar: Aging & Longevity

Catalog description

There are more older adults alive today than at any other point in human history. This demographic shift has implications for all aspects of society: the economy, healthcare, education, climate change, and individual wellbeing. This seminar showcases the research occurring across the UCSB campus that is addressing the problems and promises of growing older and living longer lives. Faculty from multiple disciplines, such as psychology, biology, anthropology, cultural studies, and communication, will provide an overview of their field, and discuss the most pressing questions that are being addressed to help ensure that you age successfully.
