The events included:

  • Various “Gerontology and Tonics” - G&Ts are an online forum where you can meet up informally with other BSG ERA members. We support each other with short presentations on gerontological topics, designed to be accessible to “accidental gerontologists”. These are followed by an informal hang-out where we can share a virtual drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) together. For further information read the G&T summaries on the British Society of Gerontology Blog https://ageingissues.wordpress.com/.

We are always interested in your suggestions for future events.  Please send any suggestions you may have to the ERA@britishgerontology.org.  Thank you!
