TO: UTMB Faculty, Postdoctoral Fellows and Students

FROM: James S. Goodwin, M.D., Director, Sealy Center on Aging

SUBJECT: Forum on Aging

The Sealy Center on Aging in conjunction with Research Services is hosting the 14th Annual UTMB Forum on Aging on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Levin Hall Dining Room. Please mark your calendars. All UTMB faculty and students are invited. The major purpose of the forum is to inform gerontology researchers, in particular, and the UTMB community, in general, of the types of aging research going on at UTMB and of the resources available from the Sealy Center on Aging. All faculty and students involved in aging research are encouraged to present a poster at the UTMB Forum on Aging. All participants will have the opportunity to wander around and see the other posters. There will be a monetary prize for the best student posters. The poster does not have to represent last week's research findings. Something that gives other UTMB scientists a sense of the type of work you are doing will be fine. Often that might be a poster that you presented at a national meeting within the last year or so. Alternatively, you could summarize all your aging research into a poster session. If you are just initiating a project, you could simply summarize the goals and proposed methodology.

Abstract submission deadline: October 26, 2010

More information on the Forum on Aging and on-line abstract submission is available at:

Abstracts will be included in the forum program. Board assignments and name tags can be picked up at the registration desk starting at 3:00 p.m. on day of the Forum, November 10, 2010. The poster boards are the standard 4' X 6' (4' from top to bottom and 6' wide).
