Our trust in science is being challenged. Because of this, it is all the more important to give voices to the marginalized. In response, as our first collab together as joint EICs, @jaceflatt.bsky.social and I have developed a new category called "Viewpoints". academic.oup.com/psychsocgero...

“Taking people out doesn’t take away the need,” Flatt said. “It just means we will not have data or information on them, which will create knowledge gaps and limit how we move forward and provide care to all caregivers.” 19thnews.org/2025/11/nati...

Trans people and people of color have been quietly erased from national caregiving plan
The decision ignores the stark reality that underserved communities experience greater negative impacts from caregiving, from financial hardships to worse health outcomes, advocates say.

A Queer Elder Couple Finds New Roots | JOYRIDE
After years in the city, John and Lee embark on a new adventure in suburban Los Angeles.

As they pedal through tree-lined streets, their conversation reveals how they’re conquering questions around aging and death. Made possible by viewers like you.

The show is inspired by the global non-profit, Cycling Without Age, which takes older adults on trishaw outings to feel the wind in their hair. From the Santa Barbara coastline to Barcelona beaches, each episode unlocks the lived experiences of today’s older generation, who have become increasingly removed from the flow of daily life. This series will create new conditions for generations to collide, share experiences, and be inspired by a sense of place and nostalgia.
