This session features the authors of the most influential papers published in the Journal of Gerontology, Biological Sciences, based on the highest impact in 2023. The authors will present the most exciting findings of the year on aging biology. Six authors of Editor's Choice papers will be invited to summarize their paper and the future implications of their discoveries for 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A from the audience.

Learning Objectives:

  • To summarize the most influential papers published in the Journal Of gerontology Biological Sciences in 2023
  • To facilitate interactions between the authors of those papers and the members of the Society
  • To stimulate the participation of the authors of the most influential papers at the GSA meeting, mostly early career investigators.
