This is a highly competitive award. According to the <a href="https://aag-hmgsg.org/awards/emerging-scholar-award-in-health-and-medical-geography/" rel="nofollow">AAG website</a>, this award "seeks to recognize early career scholars who show significant potential for distinguished scholarship in health and/or medical geography." Dr. Finlay will be invited to give a special symposium talk on her research during the 2025 AAG conference in Detroit, Michigan.<p>We look forward to her symposium talk!</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 01 May 2024 14:18:23 +0000 Anonymous 3667 at /geography /geography/2023/12/19/jessica-finlay-presents-national-academies <span>Jessica Finlay presents to the National Academies</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-12-19T13:51:47-07:00" title="Tuesday, December 19, 2023 - 13:51">Tue, 12/19/2023 - 13:51</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/geography/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/thumbnail.jpg?h=ddc30d96&amp;itok=fv8432k6" width="1200" height="800" alt="Aging in Place with Dementia Graphic"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/geography/taxonomy/term/1071"> Newsletter </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/geography/taxonomy/term/1413" hreflang="en">Jessica Finlay</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default 3"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p> </p><div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/geography/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/picture1_5.png?itok=5nz6Azn7" width="750" height="421" alt="Jessica Finlay"> </div> New Assistant Professor, Dr. Jessica Finlay was part of an "Aging in Place with Dementia" workshop hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
