Getting involved and staying involved in academic research: Exploring the impact of exercise on cognition in older adults
Presentation Type
Keynote Speaker
Abstract
This presentation will explore the various research and scholarly opportunities that led to Dr. Szabo-Reed's current position as a faculty member in Internal Medicine. From her early research opportunities as an undergraduate student to working on several large randomized controlled exercise trials as a graduate student and exploring nutrition and weight loss as a postdoctoral fellow, each experience has impacted how Dr. Szabo-Reed explores the influence of exercise on cognition in older adults today. Dr. Szabo-Reed will also discuss how seeking funding opportunities and connecting with other researchers nationwide has impacted her career and research agenda. A discussion of important life decisions, accomplishments, and challenges will show how you can be an accomplished researcher at a large institution and a “super parent” at home at the same time.
