Amazing Feats of Aging Lecture Series

Neville Public Museum presents the Amazing Feats of Aging Lecture Series

In conjunction with their latest exhibit, Amazing Feats of Aging, the Neville Public Museum is offering a series of free lectures focusing on issues relevant to today’s aging population. Amazing Feats of Aging, opening January 31 and continuing through May 3, explores the mysteries of how and why we age, and the secrets to healthy aging and living longer. Each lecture begins at 6:30pm in the Neville Theatre.

Lecture topics and dates include:
February 5: Maintain Your Brain-Healthy Lifestyle. When we think of staying fit, we generally think of our body from the neck down. However, brain health plays a critical role in everything we do; thinking, feeling, remembering, working, playing, and even sleeping. The good news is that we now know what to do to keep our brain healthier as we age. Join Beverly Bartlett, Outreach Specialist at the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Wisconsin, as she presents ways of keeping our brain healthy.

March 5: Do Not Go Gently. Join producer Eileen Littig as she shows parts of this PBS special and talks about how she and her daughter made the film.

April 2: Amazing Accomplishments in Old Age. Join Dean VonDras, Associate Professor of Human Development and Psychology at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, as he discusses the outstanding accomplishments by older adults.
