Did you ever wonder what science and research are telling us about how to live as long and healthy a life as possible, how to maintain one’s physical and mental and cognitive health as we age? If so, join this class for presentations, discussions on what we are learning and how we can implement these recommendations in our lives. Doctors are welcome to join the class, because, while the instructor has collected research on these topics, he cannot adequately explain the biological and medical underpinnings behind the findings.
Maximum: 100 Online/35 In-Person
Instructor Bio: Adam Brunner has worked in the aging field his entire career, first as a program developer of intergenerational (IG) programs for 16 years, then as National Director of Technical Assistance for an IG program in 26 cities around the US, and for the past 15 years, as Director of OLLI at Temple. One of his avocations is reading research about health and aging. He’s delighted to create this course for the edification and enjoyment of others.
Notes
Why, when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
