Nota Klentrou, right, in a Brock lab with MSc Kinesiology student Makis Papadopoulos, will be one of the presenters at an upcoming research cafe.<\/p><\/div>\n

Everyone wants to age gracefully. But how do we do that?<\/p>\n

A panel of researchers and graduate students from Brock\u2019s Faculty of Applied Health Sciences<\/a> will help to answer that question at the Wednesday, Feb. 8 Research Caf\u00e9 II, \u201cLiving healthier, living better, living longer<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Brock community and general public are invited to attend the free caf\u00e9. It is being held as part of the 2012 Mapping the New Knowledges Graduate Student Research Conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Light refreshments will be available beginning at 4:30 p.m. The program will run from 4:45 to 6:45 p.m. in Pond Inlet.<\/p>\n

The panel presenters include Brock researchers from the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences: Allan Adkin, Wendy Ward, Nota Klentrou and Kim Gammage. They will be joined by graduate student researchers Larkin Lamarche and Izabella Ludwa, both PhD students; Deborah Jehu, Yasmeen Mezil and Jacob Pfeiffer, all MSc students; and Lindsay Cline, a recent graduate of the MA program in Applied Health Sciences.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur presentations will provide people with an overall message about the importance of taking charge of your health as you age,\u201d said Klentrou, a professor and Chancellor\u2019s Research Chair in Kinesiology. \u201cAt the end of the night, we hope the audience leaves with practical strategies about how to modify their lifestyle around exercise and diet \u2014 to do the kinds of things that will help slow the aging process, decrease the risk of falls and reduce weight gain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gary Libben, Vice-President, Research, will moderate the informal panel presentations and a Q and A .<\/p>\n

Before and following the panel presentation, guests will have an opportunity to view research posters and speak with faculty and graduate student researchers about healthy living.<\/p>\n
