Seeking Experts on LGBT Issues for the Aging
As you may know, presidential proclamation has designated June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month in 2010 as in previous years. NOGLSTP-CR has been approached by Dr. Jaron Lockett, representing the Human Relations Committee of the National Institute on Aging, a major research component of the National Institutes of Health, in Baltimore, MD. They are very interested in bringing in experts who can speak on topics that affect aging LGBT populations, especially (but not limited to) biomedical researchers. Ideally, they want to bring people in to speak on Friday mornings in June, but they have some flexibility there. They also have travel funds available to bring people in from out of town. So, if you feel that you could contribute to this effort, please e-mail David Kaplan at DavidK93@gmail.com with a summary of your work or research, as well as the best way for Dr. Lockett to reach you. Please also feel free to forward this invitation to anyone you feel could present a relevant topic to the committee, whether or not they are local to the Chesapeake region.
