Topical Currents

The Science, Art, and Opportunity of Middle Age

facebook.com/bbradleyhagerty

04/25/16  - Join us for Monday’s Topical Currents, when we examine science which optimizes the futures of those in their 40s, 50s & 60s.

Some data debunks the idea of a “midlife crisis.”  Also, our brains can actually work more efficiently in midlife, and neuroplasticity can ease chronic pain.

Longtime NPR correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty is the author of LIFE REIMAGINED: The Science, Art, and Opportunity of Middle Age.

Topical Currents . . . Monday, at 1pm.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
