About this listen

In this episode, Dr. Alexandra Papaioannou is joined by Dr. Ken Rockwood, Professor of Medicine and Clinical Research Professor of Frailty and Aging at Dalhousie University. A member of the Order of Canada, Dr. Rockwood has helped define and shape the field as we know it today.

This episode is proudly supported by the CIHR Institute of Aging and the Betty Havens Prize for Knowledge Mobilization in Aging, awarded to Dr. Alexandra Papaioannou. Special thanks to creative directors Dr. Patricia Hewston and Caroline Marr, and strategic director Dr. Tricia Woo.
