First Annual Summer Research symposium in Aging
June 22-23, 2011
School of Aging Studies

The First Annual Summer Research Symposium in Aging was held on June 22-23, 2011 in the School of Aging Students. The purpose of the event was to extend previous assignments and give students an experience similar to that of a scientific conference presenting posters on original research. Students in Jessica Allen's of Death and Dying and Brianne Stanback's Aging in Special Populations class selected a topic related to their course to develop a literature review that served as the basis for the scientific poster and brief talk on their work.
During the two-day event, all of the students rose to the occasion sharing their work with classmates and members of the USF community who attended the public portion of the poster presentations. A few of the posters authored by Maria Loperena, Kasey Corl, and Chelsea Singleton were recognized as among the strongest posters of the event and will be reprinted for display in the Dean's office. Feedback from the students and faculty was so positive that this will likely become an annual event to showcase the work of more students across a broader range of topics in years to come.

As Treasurer and Chair of the Finance Committee, she managed a $6.5 million budget and instituted a number of changes. Drawing on her banking background, Reynolds pushed GSA to diversify its Unrestricted Reserves portfolio, originated an Investment Committee to oversee the portfolio, and began a tradition of regular Treasurer’s Reports to the general membership through the Gerontology News, a monthly newsletter published by GSA. Reynolds is pictured here with gifts, including a plaque that cites “her dedicated and masterly services” as Treasurer between 2004 and 2010. Congratulations on a job well done!

Perspective on stem cell research ban
The anticipation over President Barack Obama’s expected lift of the eight year ban on embryonic stem cell research, has scientists and researchers buzzing. These individuals feel strongly about the impact it could have on treatment and cures for certain diseases. Paul Sanberg, distinguished professor of neurosurgery and director of the University of South Florida Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair in Tampa was interviewed about what this means for researchers. “This clearly is a very important part of our medical future,” said Sanberg. “[But] to clear the path for this without giving additional money to the National Institutes of Health will be disappointing. I hope the stimulus package also includes an increase in embryonic stem cell funding.” The story was covered by U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, LEX 18/NBC, WFIE 14/NBC and Empowher
