All humans will grow old at some our lives. That is just the natural order of things. However, it is always a welcome development if the aging process can be made more bearable and a lot easier to deal with through the advancements in science and technology. Gerontology is the study of the aging process in humans. It aims to understand the human body and how it is affected by the aging process in the hopes of unlocking its secrets and complexities and perhaps to add a few more years to the human life expectancy. At the forefront of all this research work is an organization of multidisciplinary doctors and experts under the banner of the Gerontological Society of America-GSA.
The GSA
The Gerontological Society of America is a leading organization when it comes to Gerontological research. It is a multidisciplinary organization of doctors, scientists, researchers and other experts who aim pursue multidisciplinary research in Gerontology in order to understand the process of aging in humans. The GSA is set to host the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics World Conference. Part of its preparation is to rent trade show booths in San Francisco, CA. Those trade show rental booths will be used to showcase the GSA’s achievements and its plans and projects. Indeed the GSA has become bigger than what it was when it was founded back in the 1930’s.
The GSA’s mission and objectives
Few organizations that have the same objective are as big as the GSA. This is the main reason why it was chosen to host this year’s IAGG World Conference. As mentioned GSA will rent trade show booths in San Francisco, CA for the event and some of the trade show rental booths will feature this organization’s mission and objective. The main purpose of the GSA is to conduct research in the hopes of understanding the mystery of aging and making it more bearable and easier to deal with for those who are already in the twilight of their lives. The research that the GSA promotes does not also just focus on the biomedical aspect of aging but also on the behavioral aspect. It also looks for ways on how older people can better cope up with the changes that getting old brings. The GSA also works to foster great relationship and partnership between experts who conduct research. The association bridges the gap between these researchers so that they can work better together. Furthermore, the GSA will also work to have these studies get published and get noticed. The association knows the importance of getting these researches the attention that they need so that they can make the difference in the lives of older people. The World Conference is also one of the venues where these studies will be presented in order to be noticed.
Show support to the Gerontological Society of America and join them as they host the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics on July 23 to 27 in San Francisco, CA.
