The Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging

Public Lectures

For nearly 25 years, the Stein Institute for Research on Aging has sponsored a monthly Public Lecture Series, thanks to the efforts of its founding director, J. Edwin Seegmiller, M.D. This series allows affiliated faculty members of the Stein Institute for Research on Aging and other scientists from the UCSD School of Medicine, as well as individuals from surrounding academic and research institutions, to present the latest findings in their respective fields of expertise and share their present work with the general community. All of these lectures focus on topics related to healthy aging or age-related diseases. Over 250 public lectures have been presented. In addition to the actual lecture event, these lectures are also taped and televised on UCSD-TV, which reaches an audience of approximately 2.7 million households from San Diego and across the nation.

As well as being replayed on UCSD-TV, copies of the lectures are kept in the Stein Institute for Research on Aging’s library (the Suzanne Angelucci Educational Center),which is located on the second floor of the Stein Clinical Research Building on the UCSD School of Medicine campus. These videos are available for rental to faculty and current donors to the Stein Institute. Additionally, many of the public lectures are also available on UCSD-TV’s website “video on demand” programming.

Lectures are videotaped by UCSD-TV and air on Cox Digital Cable, Ch. 135; Time Warner Cable, Ch. 18; Time Warner Del Mar, Ch. 68; or UHF (without cable) channel 35. Program schedules are available at www.ucsd.tv/sira. SIRA lectures also air nationally on UCTV, available on Echostar Satellite's DISH Network, channel 9412; on cable in california; and via live webstream.
