Thanks @umichalzheimers for the feature on my research in the Detroit Aging Brain Study. 20+ year changes in heart health and cog aging. People in Detroit have remarkable resiliency that we can learn from to help all aging adults maintain cognitive health. @IOGWSU @WSUPsychology

Some folks stay sharp into their 80s, 90s, even past 100! It’s not luck alone that keeps them healthy. "Call Me Curious" podcasters asked how to keep our brains young & @DrAnaDaugherty answered. She heads the Healthy Brain Aging lab @IOGWSU wondery.com/shows/call-me-…
