Biography
Bernard’s work seeks to understand how the cerebellum contributes to both motor and cognitive behavior and how it changes with age. Regarding COVID-19, she can discuss the impact of social distancing on the elderly, and how this may be a particularly hard time for older adults. Further, discussions of less activity and engagement both physical and mental could result from time spent isolated either due to quarantine or social distancing.
