Thursday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM
What really happens to our bodies as we age? Why do our joints creak, our memory blur, and our energy fade – and what does science say about it? This course is your invitation to explore aging from the inside out. Blending biology, genetics, and health science with a clear, engaging teaching style, The Physiology of Aging: From DNA to Organism takes participants on a journey through the human body as it moves. Together, we’ll uncover the processes behind everything, from gray hair and cataracts to metabolic shifts and neurodegeneration. By the end of the course, participants will not only understand what aging is, but also how new discoveries are reshaping our ideas of health and longevity.
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
