We live in a time of rapid change, affecting not only our lives and research subjects but also how we do science, how we get our data, how we interpret them, and how we present them. This session will focus on new as well as longer-standing challenges in age- and ageing research. Papers reporting on various research paradigms, discussing inspirational practice and even what has gone wrong in the research process are welcome.
