Research and Girl Talk

Chris Stephens was joined by her colleague Fiona Alpass (also from Massey) to have research talks with the investigators of our Australian Longitudinal Study of Women's Health here at UQ. Chris and Fiona recently received large grants from the New Zealand government to fund their own longitudinal aging study to look at positive aging, and to compare their results with similar studies in Australia, UK, the USA and Europe. Their findings will be used to inform public policy and practice. Although they look like serious scientists in the photo, we actually had two days of nice meals (including lunch at our house) and some very funny story-swapping...
