Just got a co-authored paper accepted in JGPS. This completes what I'm calling the Journals of Gerontology EGOT: a publication in each of the Journals of Gerontology (Social, Biological, Medical, and Psychological Sciences). I'd like to thank all the people who helped me get to where I am today 😁

Feeling a bit of fomo from missing #GSA2024 this year, but hope to see everyone at the next conference!

I'd like to be added. I study social relationships and health.
