AARP Alaska is sponsoring a webinar series, “Brain Health Across the Lifespan,” which will explore how the brain changes as we age, plus aspects of lifelong brain health including diet, exercise and sleep. Webinars will also discuss how to work through situations where brain changes may be non-modifiable.

The University of Alaska Southeast will livestream and post the talks on the UAS YouTube page. The series runs through January, with one webinar per month except for October, when there will be two: Oct. 13 and Oct. 20. Both will be presented in person in the Egan Library on the UAS main campus and also livestreamed. The Oct. 13 topic is “the Vicissitudes of Aging and Brain Health: What Parents May Never Have Told You”. The Oct. 20 topic is, “Why Improving Your Gut Health Will Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease”. For more information, contact Patrick Curtis at pcurtis@aarp.org.
