Interview with Karen Bandeen-Roche
What first attracted you to gerontology and then frailty? It was an accident, actually. I had just arrived at Johns Hopkins, I was very agnostic as to my interests – this is more than 30 years ago now – and one of the more senior faculty members took me around meeting collaborators of his. By that process, I became connected to two different teams studying disability in older adults.

9 Everyday Materials Are Secretly Costing the U.S. $79 Billion Each Year in Climate Damage Original
A new study reveals that common material production in the U.S. incurs $79 billion in annual climate costs from greenhouse gas emissions, costs unaccounted for in current market prices, effectively subsidizing carbon-intensive industries. Incorporating these climate costs could promote low-carbon production methods and recycling, but would require coordinated policies to avoid simply shifting emissions to cheaper foreign imports.
$79 billion-the hidden climate costs of US materials production
A study published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters, has revealed a staggering $79 billion in annual climate-related costs from the production of common materials in the United States. These costs, which stem from greenhouse gas emissions, are not reflected in current market prices, effectively creating a massive subsidy for carbon-intensive industries. "High price point is a common reason why low emission alternative materials are not adopted voluntarily by industries.
