Dear colleagues and friends, I hope this message finds you well! I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I have received following my appointment as the Interim Director of ISL. I am honored to take on this role and excited about the opportunity to contribute further to our vibrant community. We believe that ISL will take a critical role for aging research at FSU, leveraging our track records of supporting interdisciplinary research. ISL stands at the forefront of groundbreaking research into aging, serving as a vital hub for scholarly activities that aim to unlock the secrets of living well into advanced age. I envision ISL to continue its mission of supporting interdisciplinary teams that can both advance aging research and improve the quality of life of our aging population. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Neil Charness for his kind introduction and to the Provost?s office for their support in this new capacity. It is a privilege to lead ISL that is so crucial to advancing the science and application of longevity, and I am eager to build on the strong foundation that has been laid before me. I am deeply appreciative of the support from each of you?my colleagues, our students/trainees, the advisory board, and our stakeholders in the community. Your dedication to the institute and its mission is what truly drives our success. I look forward to collaborating with you all to continue our work towards innovative solutions that enhance the lives of individuals at all stages of life. Thank you once again for your encouragement and confidence in my abilities. Please feel free to reach out to me with any ideas, concerns, or opportunities for collaboration that you believe could help further our mission.

Dr. Ke will be working alongside Co-PI Dr. Xin Yuan of the Department of Computer Science. Dr. Wasto will work with Co-PI Dr. Kyle Smith of the College of College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences. Dr. Sang will work with Co-PI Dr. Yi Zhou of the College of Medicine. The ISL Planning Grants provides $25,000 in funding for research in a new direction or continuing support of existing research with the goal of improving the opportunity for successful longevity. In Dr. Fengfeng Ke?s project titled ?Develop and Study AI-powered Culturally Diverse Virtual Standardized Patient for Training Healthcare Professional Students?, the study team will develop and study AI-powered Culturally Diverse Virtual Standardized Patients for training healthcare professional students and address significant challenges in the current healthcare education landscape. By integrating advanced AI and virtual reality (VR) technologies, the project promises to enhance training effectiveness, access, and cultural diversity sensitivity and address both the limitations of current physical standardized patient models and the need for scalable, diverse training tools. In Dr. Joseph Watson?s project titled ?Does Aging Augment Acute Kidney Injury and Inflammatory Biomarker Responses to Dehydration and Ambient Heat Stress??, the research team will investigate how aging influences inflammation and AKI biomarkers after dehydration from water restriction by comparing young and older female adults and determine if AKI biomarkers are elevated during the summer in older female adults living in Tallahassee and surrounding areas in Florida. In Dr. Qing-Xiang Sang?s project titled ?Effects of Microplastics on Human Neural Stem Cell Aging?, researchers will evaluate the effects of microplastics on human neural stem cell morphology and growth, investigate the impact of microplastic-induced oxidative stress on mitochondrial health, and examine aging-related cellular hallmarks and intercellular messenger production. Congratulations to all the winners of 2024 ISL Planning Grants and thank you to ISL?s grant reviewers for their thoughtful evaluations!

Dr. Charness has been an integral part of our community, dedicating his career to advancing interdisciplinary aging research and improving the lives of older adults through innovative approaches. Dr. Neil Charness is the William G. Chase Professor of Psychology, FSU Distinguished Research Professor, and Director of the Institute for Successful Longevity. He received his bachelor's degree from McGill University in 1969 and his MSc and PhD in Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University in 1971 and 1974, respectively. He began his academic career as an Assistant Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University (1974-77), then served as Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor at the University of Waterloo (1977-94), before joining Florida State University in 1994. Dr. Charness is a member of the editorial boards for the Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences, Psychology and Aging, and Gerontechnology. He is a past editor of the Psychology section of the Canadian Journal on Aging/Revue Canadienne du Vieillissement. He has also served on the editorial boards of Aging, Neuropsychology and Cognition; Psychological Bulletin; and Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied. He is a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association, the Gerontological Society of America, the American Psychological Association, and the Association for Psychological Science. He was made a Grandmaster of the International Society for Gerontechnology. Additionally, he has been a visiting scholar at the VA Outpatient Clinic in Boston, the University of Victoria, Canada, and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Education in Berlin. His research centers on understanding the aging process and its implications for technology use particularly for health, work performance, and expert performance. He also conducts human factors research on older driver and pedestrian safety. These research projects are funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Aging, and the US Department of Transportation, and the Florida Department of Transportation. As the Founding Director of the Institute for Successful Longevity, his passion for research and commitment to fostering interdisciplinary collaborations have made a profound impact on our community. Many ISL affiliates have benefited from various programs of ISL for their research and professional development. His efforts in community outreach, particularly during the global pandemic, have helped older adults stay connected and engaged. On a personal note, I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Charness since 2015, when I joined FSU under the successful longevity initiative and became an ISL core affiliate. He has been a mentor, collaborator, and good friend, inspiring me with his passion for research and his commitment to making a positive impact.
