Details: As baby boomers rapidly approach 65 and as the average life span of the U.S. population lengthens towards 80, UC Berkeley researchers who study aging see a need to help people understand and mitigate the processes and effects of aging, and nearly a dozen of them are hosting this third annual public colloquium and fair. The event is presented by the Center for Research and Education in Aging (CREA) and supported by a grant from the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Paola S. Timiras, a Professor Emerita at UC Berkeley, is CREA director.
