journal cover

Congratulations to Karlo Lei, Rachael Weaver, and their colleagues on their newest publication in The Journal of Gerontology, Series B. The paper finds that experiences of racial discrimination accelerate age-related increases in neurological risk, with these effects becoming especially pronounced later in midlife. These findings are consistent with the weathering perspective, which suggests that repeated exposure to adversity produces cumulative biological wear and tear.
