Re-framing Aging Well for Life Tomorrow in the Longevity Economy
Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 1:30 pm ET (please note this is 6.30 pm BST)
(Registration required – see below)
Featured speaker is Taylor Patskanick, LCSW, MSW, MPH, researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
AgeLab and UGA alumna
Experts on the intersection of technology, longevity and living well, the MIT AgeLab is a multidisciplinary research laboratory that has spent the last 20 years pursuing research improving quality of life for older adults and those who care for them. Taylor will join us to discuss the role of re-framing aging in the longevity economy and the implications of these ‘disruptive demographics’ for how we think about and design products, services and spaces. Taylor will highlight current MIT AgeLab research including the AGNES “aging suit,” Miss Daisy, the high fidelity driving simulator, panels such as CareHIVE, 85+ Lifestyle Leaders and PLAN, and the connected home logistics consortium. The possibilities of aging well for longer are endless with technology.
More information about the MIT AgeLab can be found at https://agelab.mit.edu and the Longevity Economy book by MIT AgeLab Director Dr. Joseph Coughlin is available on Amazon.
Taylor Patskanick is a Technical Associate at the MIT AgeLab. Her current research explores preventive health and vaccination practices of older adults. Taylor co-coordinates the MIT AgeLab 85+ Lifestyle Leaders panel and contributes to the AgeLab’s AGNES program. She also manages OMEGA, an intergenerational summit and scholarship program. In addition to her work at the AgeLab, Taylor is the president of Boston Bridge, Inc., a Massachusetts-based professional development organization for leaders in the field of aging and is a licensed certified social worker (LCSW). Taylor is an adjunct faculty member at Simmons University in Boston, MA. Taylor earned her MPH and MSW from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis and received her BSW from the University of Georgia.

We are a non-competitive Cambridge rowing club for the over 40s to the over 80s. We specialise in teaching people to row or helping them to brush up their rowing skills of old. We currently row on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9.30am. Our rowing sessions are very friendly and great fun! If you are interested in joining, do come for a free trial session with a qualified coach, to see whether rowing is for you. See our website for more details.

Alan Baker
In the Autumn Terms of 2020 and 2021, a course of talks by Alan Baker explored the personality of nineteenth-century Paris. Alan was a member and then leader of a U3AC Easy Rambling group for seven years (2005-2011) and for ten years (2012-2021) has given lecture courses on the historical geography of France. A considerably expanded version of his last course is to be published as a book which considers the changing landscape and society of Paris from 1789 to 1914 during which its population burgeoned from half a million to almost three million.
Alan’s book examines the making of a distinctive urban personality through the construction of monuments and architectural icons, through the city’s massive re-modelling by Napoléon III and Baron Haussmann, through its five world exhibitions, through its emphasis on food, fashion and fun, and through the ways in which Parisians sought rural release from urban pressures. Finally, Alan considers the self-harm done to the cityscape of 19th-century Paris by revolutions and wars and the damage inflicted on it by 20th-century hubristic politicians and architects. The Personality of Paris: Landscape and Society in the Long Nineteenth-Century will be published by Bloomsbury on 10 February 2022.
