Regenstrief Institute researchers are sharing the stage with other national aging research experts as they participate in the dissemination of scientific advances during the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting on November 8-12 in Tampa, Florida.
The meeting provides aging researchers in a variety of disciplines a platform to share stimulating and high-level scholarship. This new and enriching knowledge will shape policy, practice and research for years to come.
At the meeting, Regenstrief’s Susan Hickman, PhD, will be inducted into the social research, policy and practice section of the GSA College of Fellows. See a related press release here.
