Mentor Circles
Small group conversations that bring together younger and older participants to explore topics related to aging, purpose, and human connection.
Where Insight Meets Lived Experience
The BMB Intergenerational Lab is the place where ideas explored through Brain Meets Bytes are brought into the real world.
It exists to better understand how aging is experienced across generations, and to ensure that conversations about longevity and brain health are informed not only by research and innovation, but by the people those ideas are meant to serve.
Why It Matters
Aging is often approached as a challenge to be solved within a single demographic, typically older adults. In practice, it is something that connects every generation.
The decisions being made today about health, technology, and environment will shape how current and future populations experience aging.
Without meaningful exchange across generations, important perspectives are missed, and solutions risk being incomplete.
The BMB Intergenerational Lab creates space for that exchange to happen in a thoughtful and structured way.
What We Do
The Lab is built around a small number of core initiatives, each designed to encourage dialogue, surface insight, and connect ideas to real-world experience.
Innovation Bridge
A convening designed to connect emerging ideas with real-world needs, informed by themes that surface through Mentor Circles.
Wisdom Media Collective
An ongoing effort to capture and share stories, perspectives, and insights that emerge through the Lab’s work.
How It Connects
The BMB Intergenerational Lab is part of a broader system.
Insights from Brain Meets Bytes help shape the themes explored within the Lab. In turn, the conversations and experiences that take place here inform how those ideas are understood and applied.
This creates a continuous exchange between thinking and experience, helping ensure that work in aging remains grounded, relevant, and human.
The future of aging will not be shaped by innovation alone. It will be shaped by how well we understand one another across generations.
The BMB Intergenerational Lab exists to support that understanding.
