The Science and Habits of Healthy Aging

This year’s theme is The Science and Habits of Healthy Aging. What does it really mean to age well, and how can the choices we make today shape our health in the years ahead? Our panel will examine research on nutrition, sleep, stress management, physical activity, and longevity and share practical ways to build habits that help us stay healthy, active, and independent as we age.

John Cummins, chair of our Life Sciences Committee, will open the programme. He and Alanna Barry are both copied here.
