Happy to be at the “Transforming Gerontology: The Power of Minority Aging Research” symposium at the @geronsociety 2025 annual meeting with a great panel of speakers who have advanced aging research and improved the lives of underrepresented older adults.

Today is Election Day.
Millions of Americans will be going to the polls to show the world who we are and what we stand for. Find out where and when you can vote today at IWillVote.com.
And once you do, I want to see your voting sticker. I’ll be sharing your posts throughout the day. Let’s get out there and win this thing!
We need to stop this nonsense and support Scientists like @PeterHotez and guarantee their privacy and safety from people who refuse to acknowledge the facts and believe in science. Anti vaccine is a mass killer and it needs to stop.
This is why we need to care. Antivaccine activism too often is being treated as though it’s just another piece of America’s culture wars. But it’s not. It’s a mass killer. And it needs to stop.

Every time the tweet below is shared and someone new watches the trailer I feel hope.
Hope that we can keep doing the improbable.
Hope that we can save millions.
Hope that I can be among the first survivors.
Hope.
Good night moon.

Six years ago I was told to prepare to die.
This is the improbable, inspiring, love-filled, hope-filled, true story about the extraordinary campaign that happened next.
This is where you come in: please share this trailer with everyone so that we can bring hope to everyone.
El Dr. Camilo Gómez @rocogoar se ha lanzado como candidato para liderar la Asociación Colombiana de Gerontología y Geriatria con un gran equipo. Mucha suerte en las elecciones hoy!
