We are thrilled to share the Volume 2 of the bi-weekly newsletter from the Institute for Successful Longevity. Many of our ISL affiliates recently received university awards and new grants. Congratulations to them! To get updates from ISL more timely, please follow our social media platforms: https://linktr.ee/fsuisl. Enjoy the summer!

Dr. Yunjung Kim, Professor in the School of Communication Science and Disorders, will collaborate with Co-PIs Dr. Erin Bush, Associate Professor in the School of Communication Science and Disorders and Dr. Victor DeBrunner, Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In Dr. Kim?s project titled ?Bridging Bench Science to Clinical Practice: Exploring Ultrasound Imaging for Articulation Studies in Parkinson?s Disease?, the team will leverage ultrasound imaging as a form of biofeedback to improve speech interventions for individuals with Parkinson?s disease. The project aims to establish a technology-assisted articulation training program, offering a cost-effective, accessible, and innovative approach to aging research and clinical therapy. Dr. Hongyuan Cao, Professor in the Department of Statistics, will be working alongside Co-PIs Dr. Qian Zhang, Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems, and Dr. Antonio Terracciano, Professor in the Department of Geriatrics. In Dr. Cao?s project titled ?Exploring the Paradoxical Link Between BMI and Alzheimer?s Disease Risk?, the research team will investigate the evolving relationship between body mass index (BMI) and Alzheimer?s disease (AD) across different stages of life. While mid-life obesity is often linked to increased AD risk, late-life obesity may be associated with reduced risk. This project proposes modeling the time-varying effect of BMI on the onset of AD to identify specific life periods where BMI plays a critical role. These insights will enable more precise and effective interventions aimed at reducing AD risk. Dr. Ravinder Nagpal, Associate Professor and Director of The Gut Biome Lab in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences, will work with Co-PI Dr. Julia Sheffler, Assistant Professor and Director of the Integrative Science for Healthy Aging Program at the Center for Translational Behavioral Science. In Dr. Nagpal?s project titled ?Unraveling the Gut-Microbiome-Brain Axis Elements Through Multi-Omics Assessments in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment?, the researchers will build on their existing I-CAN (?Improving Cognitive Aging through Nutrition?) program. The study will use a comprehensive multi-omics approach to investigate how dietary patterns and microbial metabolites impact brain and gut health in underserved older adults with mild cognitive impairment. This work is expected to fill crucial gaps in our understanding of how the gut-microbiome-brain axis influences cognitive aging. Congratulations to all the winners of the 2025-2026 ISL Planning Grants, and many thanks to ISL?s grant reviewers for their thoughtful evaluation of the proposals!

Congratulations to all the ISL Planning Grant winning teams! Many thanks for all the reviewers on the scientific review committee for their meticulous work and constructive feedback! 1. Welcome Dr. Zhaotong Lin to ISL as our newest faculty affiliate! 1. Congratulations to all the recent award winners: Dr. Robert Tomko (FSU Distinguished Teacher Award and Developing Scholar Award) and Dr. Leo Liu (2024 Eberhard F. Mammen Young Investigator Award), and seven other award winners highlighted in the last bi-weekly newsletter: Drs. Qing-Xiang Amy Sang (Distinguished Research Professor Award), Antonio Terracciano (Distinguished Research Professor Award), Yang Hou (Inclusive Teaching & Mentoring Award), Eren Ozguven (Community Engaged Research Partnership Award), Anne Barrett (Graduate Faculty Mentor Award), Aaron Wilber (Developing Scholar Award), and Yanshuo Sun (Developing Scholar Award)! We are proud of having you at ISL! 1. We have just launched our ISL Podcast Series ?Voices of Longevity?. Over the course of summer, we are going to run a pilot test with a few faculty affiliates, post the videos and audios on our ISL YouTube and Spotify channels, and share them across our social media platforms. This series aims to spotlight the people, research, and stories shaping the science and community of longevity. Through thoughtful conversations, we?ll bring people closer to the work being done to promote healthy aging and improve quality of life across the lifespan. I?d like to give a shoutout to our amazing ISL team especially Outreach Assistant Victoria for her hard work producing this bi-weekly newsletter & social media postings, and facilitating the podcast series, as well as our Web Developer Dhruv Kale for creating rich web content on our ISL website. Hope you?ll have a happy long weekend!
