Pitt Med Magazine is a quarterly publication from the University of Pittsburgh. While aimed explicitly at "alumni, students, staff, faculty, and friends of the School of Medicine," this accessible and engaging magazine may appeal more broadly to people interested in news and research developments in the areas of health and medicine. In the Fall 2017 edition of the magazine, visitors will find an article about an ongoing research project at the University, led by Dr. Toren Finkel, that examines aging and the human "health span" or "the period of life during which a person remains free from serious illness." Another article, excerpted from an upcoming book The Inheritance by Niki Kapsambelis, profiles a family intimately affected by early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Interested readers can download PDFs of previous issues of Pitt Med Magazine via Archives. Podcast fans may also be interested in the magazine's podcast, the PitMedcast.
