In this episode, we're joined by Julie Moreno, an Associate Professor in Environmental and Radiological Health Science at CSU. Her research on canine aging has been featured on 60 Minutes, and she's working to understand how the brain ages. Julie shares how her team is using companion animals, specifically dogs, to study cognitive decline and its relation to human aging. She discusses the benefits of using dogs as a model, including their accelerated life span and the ability to observe them in their natural environment. This conversation delves into the importance of understanding aging and the potential for breakthroughs in human health.
