The Big Experience of Ageing
New Ideas in Ageing Podcast - S1E1
About the episode
Every living person around the world has one thing in common: we are all ageing.
If you are someone who has always thought about ageing as a health and medical issue, or maybe an economic issue and a ‘problem’ that needs to be solved, then some of the topics we’re discussing in this podcast series might come as a bit of a surprise, and hopefully in a good way.
In this episode we hear from Institute Director Professor Kaarin Anstey, world-renowned dementia researcher and Director of the UNSW Ageing Futures Institute, on why understanding the whole experience of ageing and navigating an older world requires big thinking from diverse experts.
