Today we’re highlighting the younger generation pursuing careers in the field of aging and dementia research. We’re joined by Elizabeth Kensinger, psychology and neuroscience professor at Boston College (BC), Victoria Fisher, a researcher at BC, and Josue Velasquez Higueros, a graduating student at the BC School of Social Work & a Spier Fellowship recipient. We discuss the interest of younger adults in making a difference for the aging population and future generations. We also talk about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on aging populations as well as the need for education surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia among underserved communities. Need assistance?
