Shana Stites, PsyD, MA, MS, recently was a part of the 2020 Butler Williams Scholar’s Conference gathering of rising aging and dementia scholars in early July.
Dr. Shana Sites is a PMC Clark Scholar, a clinical psychologist, and a researcher with the Penn Program on Precision Medicine for the Brain (P3MB). Applications for the program opened in October 2019 and closed in February 2020. The pool of potential attending scholars had to hold a doctorate and either engage in aging research or actively consider working the field. The NIA announced the accepted scholars in April of this year.
