Fast Company magazine has selected MIT’s Joseph Coughlin as one of its “10 Most Creative People” on Twitter, the popular social-media site.

Coughlin is founder and director of MIT’s AgeLab, an interdisciplinary center created in 1999 to use technology in order to improve the health and capabilities of an aging population. The magazine recommended Coughlin’s “info and links about age demographics and aging.”

The Twitter list was culled from another list of “The 100 Most Creative People in Business,” also featuring Coughlin, which the magazine published in 2009.
