Thrilled that my R16 SuRE-First grant was funded for 4 years by @NIH_NINDS! I’ll be studying how neighborhood SES and segregation via allostatic load shapes cognitive function in midlife and older Black adults. And I’ll get to mentor XULA students on the project! Ready to work!

Financial security is crucial to the well-being of older adults. This #JGSS paper by @ProfLatinxHlth @AmyDThierry & @Cbpendergrast shows how the #COVID19 pandemic led to more economic hardship for older Black and Latinx adults. #GeroChat doi.org/10.1093/geronb…
