Psychologist in the Pub events are completely free and open to everyone (British Psychological Society members and non-menbers), so pleae join us on:
Thursday 15th October, 6:30 for 7pm start, with:
Professor Patrick Rabbitt, University of Oxford:
“Be well, be fast, live long: Finding the factors that contribute to a long and able life”
No-one approaches aging with enthusiasm. Activities we accomplish easily in our 20s and 30s become more difficult as we grow old but, though change is inevitable, recognising and understanding precisely what is happening to our bodies and minds allows us to continue to manage and enjoy our lives.
Patrick Rabbitt is a cognitive gerontologist who has researched physical and mental aging for over 50 years and so can interpret his personal daily experiences of the aging process through a comprehensive understanding of what gerontological research has revealed about how our bodies and brains age, and how these changes affect our everyday experiences and lives.
Professor Rabbitt remains an active researcher affiliated to both the University of Oxford, UK, and the University of Western Australia, Australia. He is also Honorary Fellow of the British Psychological Society and the British Society of Gerontology and a Member of the Academy of Europe.
The talk will be held in the function room in Wig & Pen pub. The function room is wheelchair accessible.
