The Brain Health Research Cluster at UVic's Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health present part 2 of 3 of their Café Scientifique series entitled Forever Young: Brain Health and Aging. This session will provide a fun, interactive opportunity to discuss brain health with experts from the University of Victoria. What made them decide to research brain health and how it affects aging? What do YOU want to know about brain health and aging? What research do YOU think still needs to be done? They are here to answer your questions! 

Lunch will be provided for those attending in person. This event is free to attend, though registration is required.
