DESCRIPTION:Thick disks are ubiquitous in nearby spiral galaxies\, and man
 y mechanisms\nhave been proposed to explain their formation. I will first 
 use a suite of\nzoom cosmological simulations to explore the connection be
 tween a galaxy's\nformation history and the structure of its disk. I will 
 then explain our\nrecent efforts to determine ages for a large sample of s
 tars in the Milky\nWay (using APOGEE spectroscopic data combined with aste
 roseismology\ninformation from Kepler)\, and will show how we use those ag
 es to uncover the\nstructure of the Milky Way's thick disk. I will finally
  present recent\nresults on the structure of disks in nearby galaxies (usi
 ng MUSE data)\, and\nwill discuss how the Milky Way compares to its neighb
 ours.\n
