Hi Folks:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Thought it would be useful to update you on editorials our Directors are having published in media sources. Below is one for Karen Fingerman.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Also wanted to share an initiative we are doing at our institute to help reconnect seniors. We are preparing instruction sets for seniors on how to sign up for a personal zoom account, schedule a meeting, and join a zoom meeting (PC and Mac versions). This
is in the context of a train the trainers initiative to get seniors to volunteer to help put some of the senior center courses online, given that the local senior center is closed down. When ready, I’ll post a link to the instruction sets, likely on the ISL
web site.</p>

Hi, all,</p>

</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I <span style="color:black">published an Op Ed in USA Today this morning. </span>

<span style="color:black">I wanted to get at the diversity in the older population- particularly as places like NYC, Detroit, and New Orleans are thinking about rationing care.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="color:black">It’s a really important issue- especially for healthy folks in their 60s or 70s.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="color:black">I’m grateful if you can help spread the word on this issue. Thank you!</span></p>

<span style="color:black">PS: I have to also give credit to the Committee on Aging for the American Psychological Association. We had a 2 day Zoom conference Mar 20-21—And Kelly and I volunteered to go forward with communication in an Op Ed.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="color:black">PPS: Media services at UT is amazing for placing it in a national outlet! So again- credit goes elsewhere. In fact- my role is pretty minimal- but the message is important. Thank you!
