New at this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting in Tampa, the Society is providing local undergraduate students with the means to learn about career opportunities in the aging field. Through a full day of programming on Friday, November 10, Careers in Aging Day participants will have a free chance to learn everything about GSA, career options in the aging field, the workings of a professional conference, and educational options at local colleges and universities.

We were thrilled to receive the news that the National Institute on Aging (NIA) has awarded GSA a grant to become the new home to the National Coordinating Center for the Resource Centers on Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) program! This is a major milestone moment for the Society!

Congratulations to everyone involved in the preparation and production of GSA journals, from individual authors to reviewers to editors. The latest impact factors are in, and GSA’s peer-reviewed titles have had a stellar showing!

Impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which articles in a journal from the two preceding years have been cited in the given year. While this is not the only measure of a journal’s performance, it’s a leading indicator and an important consideration when authors are determining where to submit new manuscripts.

The Healthy Brain Initiative has just released the fourth edition of its Road Map series.
