Show Notes
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 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.
