living healthy longer - Aging in Place with Dr. Maria Delgado
play

02/07/22 • 38 min

The National Institute on Aging defines aging in place as "staying in your own home as you get older," though there are many barriers to aging in place, including affordability, disability, and home design.

Assistant Professor of Design and Merchandising, Maria Delgado, introduces us to universal design standards that aim to make homes more accessible, and we learn about the affordable, sustainable, and visitable tiny home that Delgado's students are building for a lucky older adult.

Delgado is looking for older adult (55+) volunteers in Northern Colorado to provide user feedback to her students about their tiny home design. If interested, email Maria Delgado at [email protected].

living healthy longer - The Science of Team Science with Dr. Jeni Cross
play

03/08/21 • 52 min

The best solutions to a problem are discovered when scientists from a variety of backgrounds work together, each one providing a perspective that the other doesn't have.

Dr. Jeni Cross, a community sociologist, teaches us about the science of team science: why humans work better in teams and how research benefits from a transdisciplinary approach. We learn how teams of people foster innovation, how they communicate effectively with each other, what their relationships are like, and basically, what makes for a good team.

Notes:

How can we improve the creativity and performance of research teams? Read this blog by Dr. Cross and Dr. Hannah Love.

Aging can be defined as the accumulation of small amounts of damage in our bodies across our lifetimes. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Nicole Ehrhart about the hallmarks of aging: nine cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging that are shared among all humans and are considered to be the drivers of aging. We discuss how aging relates to regenerative medicine and cancer, how dogs might be the key to understanding human aging, and how CSU's Center for Healthy Aging is poised to respond to the global aging crisis.

living healthy longer - Hormonal Programming with Dr. Stuart Tobet
play

03/22/21 • 32 min

Dr. Stuart Tobet’s research has shown that there are cellular events that happen within sensitive periods of development, such as the prenatal stage or infancy, in which hormones have the potential to cause permanent changes in anatomy and physiology into adulthood. In this episode, we learn about the importance of environment in influencing our health, and that humans are the end product of a complex cascade of hormones, signals, genes, and more held inside of us.
