From this Sunday (4th of July), I will cover the World Congress of Gerontology & Geriatrics 2009 through my blog and Twitter account for 4 days. I will mostly focus on the genetics-related presentations.

Held every four years, the IAGG (International Association of Gerontology & Geriatrics) World Congress of Gerontology & Geriatrics is attended by teams of experts from around the world, who will discuss the latest findings in the fields of ageing. An attractive program was created by its International Scientific Committee and will feature four main investigation areas:

- Health and geriatric sciences
- Social gerontology
- Behavioural and psychological sciences
- Biology of ageing.

The new site that will aggregate posts, tweets, images and videos, is up.
