We at COAH want to share our utmost thanks to everyone who attended and participated in the events of the 18th Annual Research on Aging Showcase on Friday, May 16th. Your presence and engagement made for a truly great event!
The day started with a student-led Epi of Aging journal club session facilitated by recent PhD graduate, Dr. Kening Jiang. This was followed by an outstanding Keynote Address by Dr. Barbara Resnick, Professor of Gerontology in the School of Nursing at University of Maryland, Baltimore, on “Resilience and Aging” in Sheldon Hall. Following the keynote presentation, we held a lively poster competition and networking session in Feinstone Hall, featuring over 40 posters and concluding with awards in both student and professional categories. More information, including the poster winners’ names and poster titles, is now available here.
Overall, this annual showcase highlights the exciting aging research being led by students, fellows, and faculty at Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, the National Institute on Aging, and beyond.
A special thank you to the poster session judges, the poster presenters, and the showcase organizing committee, including student leaders, Allison Berry, Wenjie Cai, and Yiyang Cai. Please see above for the gallery of photos from the showcase events.
