ReCast - What cognitive abilities improve as we age? Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

We ran into some tech and health issues this week, which prevented us from being able to share our insights about the latest news. That being said, our topic next week will tackle the issue of Ageism, so we thought it was a great idea to re-cast one of our episodes on which cognitive abilities improve as we age as a good counterpart to next week's episode.

Take care of yourself, and your health, and see you next week!

Originally recorded live on September 9th, 2021, hosted by Nick Roome & Blake Arnsdorff.
