Specifically for Seniors - A New Direction

A Conversation About Mental and Physiological Aging with Ben Katz and Pamela Teaster


Listen Later

My guests today on Specifically for Seniors caught my attention in an Opinion piece in the Washington Post.  Professors Ben Katz and Pamela Teaster urged “an objective, scientific conversation about mental and physiological aging - both for our leaders and for the rapidly aging populations around the world” realizing that these conversations are both difficult and obligatory.

We’re going to try to at least open that conversation here on Specifically for Seniors, today.
Both Ben Katz and Pamela Teaster, are part of the faculty of Human Development and Family Science at Virginia Tech
Pamela Teaster is also director of the Virginia Tech Center for Gerontology and on the editorial board of the Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect. She is a fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education. She is an active board member and former president of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse.
