Great to share the retirement and recognition for a wonderful career for @francesbriony , especially for her long term leadership @NAgeingRI & @gerontologyau. Also great to see many old friends from my NARI days incl @fbatchy, @MARCIAFEARN, Claudia Meyer, Kirsten Moore & others

[Dr Liz Allen @DrDemography]

Media, please stop using the term ‘silver tsunami’. It’s condescending and kinda ageist. Using the term conjures a discriminatory stereotype. It’s harmful.

A reminder: ageism is discrimination we commit against our future selves.
