Dean Lise Youngblade of the College of Health and Human Sciences at Colorado State University is a lifespan developmental scientist whose research centers on childhood and adolescent experiences. In our conversation, we talk about the impact of experiences that happen to us in early life and decisions that we can make as we age that will help us live longer and healthier. We also discuss the history of aging research at CSU and how the Columbine Health Systems Center for Healthy Aging came to be.
