Aaron Wilber’s Brown Bag — now on ISL’s YouTube channel
If you missed the recent talk by Aaron Wilber, Assistant Professor in FSU’s Department of Psychology, on his research on Alzheimer’s disease, you can now watch it on ISL’s YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/--cv5Po3JDY.

He gave his talk October 25 as part of the Institute for Successful Longevity’s Brown Bag Series.

Dr. Wilber’s research is directed at understanding how we get oriented in space so we can navigate our environment and what goes wrong when this system fails. He is currently exploring why Alzheimer’s disease leads to difficulty navigating new surroundings, what brain changes may underlie getting lost, and treatments for reversing these impairments.

Kelley, of Case Western Reserve University, spoke earlier this month on “Structures and Systems: Life Course Scaffolding of Late-Life Health.”

In her talk, part of the ISL Speaker Series, Kelley focused on recent theoretical developments in aging and life course literatures and how they relate to empirical work on health outcomes in later life.
