What is Gerontology?

On the AARP Houston Prepare to Care podcast we talk about free and practical resources. We also share stories and encourage each other, but what do we, as caregivers, actually know about aging? What's the science behind getting older? What are we learning that can help us age gracefully?

In this edition of our podcast, we talk to Wendy Fox-Grange. She's a Gerontologist and Senior Policy Advisor with the AARP Public Policy Institute. She joins host Marie-Pierre to talk about Gerontology or the science of aging.
