Early Career Researchers in Aging Research: Opportunities and Obstacles

The focus for this year's meeting for researchers in aging is early career researchers (ECRs) who work with aging research. We will discuss the opportunities and obstacles for ECRs in general and those doing interdisciplinary research. We hope to create an interactive afternoon and facilitate discussion on career paths for ECRs.

Register here - the deadline is November 28.
