Where: Salk Institute

We invite you to join us for an inspiring evening at the Salk Institute on Wednesday, February 25, 5:00-7:00 p.m., as we highlight Salk’s Year of Brain Health—a bold initiative to advance research across interconnected areas essential to maintaining cognitive resilience across our lifetimes, including cardiovascular fitness, immune and metabolic health, exercise, mental wellbeing, and sleep.

At this complimentary event, Salk President Gerald Joyce, MD, PhD, will lead an expert panel discussion, followed by audience Q&A and a reception with hors d’oeuvres and beverages. This is a rare opportunity to connect with people at the forefront of interdisciplinary research and explore how foundational science can help improve brain health.

Discovery Society members will receive a special gift at the event. Click here to learn more or to join Salk’s premier loyalty program today.
