Crossroads of Pella is hoping to educate the public about how brains work as people get older.

Director Jim Hibma says they are hosting a lecture titled “Healthy Aging: What Can We Do About It, and What Limits Do We Face?” this evening at 7 at Leighton State Bank. Hibma says this is part of a larger ongoing education series planned at Crossroads of Pella within the next year. Director of the Aging Mind and Brain Initiative Dr. Bernd Fritzsch from the University of Iowa Biology Department will present.
