As the year wraps up, I’m sharing a short video on a big question in my research—can music truly bring generations together? Created using NotebookLM’s new AI video tool (content reviewed by me). Curious to hear your thoughts. Enjoy. youtu.be/3DrNIHv_LBE

We ran an RCT of an educational intervention to reduce ageism among over 600 middle-school students in Israel. The effects were null, highlighting the difficulty of addressing ageism and the need to rethink intervention design. @LiatAyalon #Ageism academic.oup.com/gerontologi…

“Your are young and pampered and spoiled” - it is another form of ageism or youngism that should be eliminated
Have you ever: 👎 Been considered 'too young' for a job or promotion 👎 Been treated unfairly because of age-related bias 👎 Been 'too young' to be listened to That's ageism. On International #YouthDay, let's stand up against ageism for #AWorld4AllAges 👉 bit.ly/4mDsxZN

Words count:The Biblical “Elder” was someone appointed to a leadership role-yet, not all older people are qualified to assume this role as evidenced in the political world. Senior citizen- a survey noted #1 #ageist phrase. We don’t say Junior citizen describing 30 yr olds.

Aging is not a problem. Ageism is. Those working to improve the lives of older people need to frame aging as a diverse, dynamic process that brings value & wisdom to society. We need to advance a more #equitable and complete story about aging. Read more: archstone.org/blog/counterin…
