The IOA hosted our 2023 Sylvan M. Cohen Annual Retreat and Poster Session on Wednesday, December 6 in collaboration with the Penn Medical Communication Research Institute. This year's theme, "Addressing Aging: Miscommunication and Misinformation in Aging-related Research and Care," covered a variety of topics from scams targeting older adults, communicating clinical trial results, and the use of generative AI in gerontology.
You can currently view full lectures from all of our event speakers here or stay tuned for more on these topics as we release recaps of each talk in the coming weeks.
Congratulations to our poster winners!
