Sobering article about the impact of the pandemic on older Americans - 1 in 100 of them have died of Covid. Many experience increased isolation so they can just survive this. THIS is why programs like Osher at Pitt which help connect people are critical. https://t.co/N5C5YtTmLx

Last lecture of Fall term for #OLLIatPitt - a terrific end with Dr. Linden this afternoon. It will be fascinating! #LifelongLearning #UniversityOfPittsburgh #Osher

Have you ever thought, "I wonder what Vincent Van Gogh would look like as a 92' hot air ballon?" What do you mean, no? Well, if you were curious, that's exactly what what was in Oakland today, promoting the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit in #Pittsburgh. It was certainly something.

[Heinz History Center @HistoryCenter]

It was great to host Motown legend @smokeyrobinson at the History Center today! Smokey loved learning about Pittsburgh history...and we second that emotion.

Please see this important article powered by our friends at @AgeFriendlyPGH!! Social connection is one of the MAIN reasons folks join our Osher Lifelong Learning program!

[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette @PittsburghPG]

Social isolation — which has worsened for many older Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic — carries risks not only for loneliness but also for health consequences such as an increased risk of heart disease, dementia and high blood pressure. https://t.co/yLhZoW0Wpd
