Honoured that my written evidence to the UK Parliament has been published.
It outlines 3 key actions that focus on earlier diagnosis, lowering long-term costs, and supporting continued employment for older adults, strengthening productivity and resilience in an #ageing society.

Funny how things come full circle π
A decade ago, I applied for a PhD with what was then a novel approach. It didnβt get funded β
Now, I was on the panel that funded a fellowship proposing that same approachβled by the mentee of that supervisor!

Thought Iβd maxed out the academic ridiculousness scale submitting a paper at 10pm on a Sundayβ¦ then someone hit me with an email approving my ethics application at 23:38. Academia isnβt a job, itβs a late-night cult. #academiclife #night_owl_energy

How Nearly a Century of Happiness Research Led to One Big Finding
Decades of wellness studies have identified a formula for happiness, but you wonβt figure it out alone.
In a society where "situationships" have become commonplace, a century of research shows that the strongest predictor of happiness and life satisfaction is having deep, meaningful relationships.
It's no surprise we're in a mental health crisis.

International Consortium to Classify Ageing-related Pathologies (ICCARP) senescence definitions: achieving international consensus - GeroScience
GeroScience -
Publication alert π
Every individual ages uniquely.
We as a consortium believe the term normative ageing, the expected trajectory of #ageing based on data derived from a particular population, best encapsulates this phenomenon.

Images are everywhere in todayβs media-age, able to shape our perceptions of the world, ourselves & others often more powerfully than words.
But if we repeatedly see images that offer a negative vision of ageing & older age, for example portraying loneliness, frailty & inactivity, what then?
