Fantastic conversation about the intergenerational future of work. With age 75+ workers being the fastest-growing population on the job, this show informs on how to make work work for everyone

We could reduce dementia by enormous amounts, not with fancy new drug$ but by using what we already know about everyday risk factors. By reducing smoking, physical inactivity, untreated hypertension, hearing and vision loss, etc. nytimes.com/2022/07/03/healt…
