By Henry Olders M.D. (Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, 91黑料网).听

Talk Summary:

Why is coffee good for you when you鈥檙e older? Why is too much protein bad for you? Learn which supplements are harmful, which are helpful, and why. Can stress be good for you? Do our gut bacteria play a role? Epigenetics? What鈥檚 the connection between sleep loss and cancer?

Dr. Henry Olders talks about the links between diet, lifestyle, and the diseases of aging, including dementia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cancer, and provides practical advice to extend healthy longevity.

Drawing on his studies and experience as a geriatric psychiatrist and a computer systems engineer, Dr. Olders has applied the problem-solving approach he learned in engineering with his knowledge of physiology, metabolism, aging, evolutionary processes, and human behaviour acquired in medical school, to come up with unique perspectives on what links sleep patterns with affective disorders; what鈥檚 behind the increase of anger, rude behaviour, and violence in our society, and brain-derived machine learning algorithms, and of course the topic of this talk.

Accessibility

We warmly welcome all visitors and aim to provide helpful information so you can plan your visit to the Redpath Museum with confidence.

Please note that the Redpath Museum is in a historic building that does not currently meet universal accessibility standards. At this time, there are no ramps or elevators, and access to the museum, exhibition galleries (located on 3 floors), and washrooms requires the use of a central staircase.

The building鈥檚 washrooms are gendered and located in the basement. The nearest gender inclusive washrooms are located in the McLennan Library Building (M6-37C).

Due to the architecture and open spaces, the exhibition galleries may become noisy during periods of high attendance.

Please also note that the building is not air-conditioned. During hot weather, indoor temperatures can exceed outdoor temperatures.

We recognize that these conditions may limit access for some visitors and are committed to improving accessibility over time.

If you have specific accessibility related questions, we encourage you to contact us at redpath.museum [at] mcgill.ca.
