In the mid 1970s I was accepted into the Gerontology and Adult Learning doctoral program at the U of Michigan. The first person we were introduced to was Dr. Butler. I ultimately went in a different direction and became a clinical social worker and coach, but I’ve always drawn on his work. Thanks for the excellent post. Lynne Berrett
Thank you for sharing the resources @Jane - in particular the specialism by university. (I am interested in the cognitive neuroscience that supports a view of ageing as expansion not decline).
Hi Francesca - glad to know this post was helpful. I was a bit surprised by the number of universities active in some aspect of aging research - and now concerned that the current pullback of federal funds might jeopardize the leaps forward.
Cheers for Dr. Butler -- and to you, Jane, for making us more aware of his work.
Thanks- he certainly was ahead of his time!

Thanks Lynne. Dr Butler was surely on of a kind. His legacy has informed a generation (or two).
thanks Jane. I turned 71 yesterday and believe that I'm not a day over 60.
I think that’s because you’re a Leo. 😉 Happy belated birthday.
Haha, thanks!
I am old enough to use this information immediately in my current life, the only life that I get, so I am determined to make it a life well lived.
Good! You’re right- there’s only one per customer.

That would be very unfortunate. Actually the LSE in London is doing research on ageing too. I can share details if interested, Jane?
Sure, and thanks.
Here goes, Jane: https://www.lse.ac.uk/lse-health/research/AHIL/AHIL (are you keeping a list, an archive, of these fab resources?)
Yes now that you’ve added to the list with non US based research. Thanks!
