**Center for Healthy Minds Lecture still needing ushers!

The Center for Healthy Minds presents an afternoon with Dr. Michael F. Roizen, MD, co-author of the New York Times bestsellers, "YOU: on a Diet" and "YOU: The Owner's Manual." The Cleveland Clinic anesthesiologoist is 59 years old, according to his birth certificate, but his RealAge is 41.2. How? RealAge is a formula, developed by Dr. Roizen, that measures the biological age of your body, based on lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. Dr. Roizen's lecture, "Real Age: Are You as Young as You Can Be?" explores how we can slow the aging process and make our RealAges younger. Roizen's RealAge theory is particularly relevant to research by the Center for Healthy Minds investigators, who focus on the conditions and interventions that maintain cognitive health in late adulthood.

The lecture is on April 29th at 2p. Call time for this lecture is 12:15p at the Great Hall, as the house will open for seating at 1p. We expect it to be a full house. Please let Courtney (cegg@uiuc.edu) know if you are interested in helping!

ICE CREAM SOCIAL-- Keep Thursday, May 3rd, open on your calendar. At 1 pm in the studio theatre, we're gonna be enjoying ice cream sundaes. So take a break from studying, and enjoy the end of the semester with some great friends and sweets.
