  1. A HS student emailed me out of the blue to do an interview as part of her capstone project on #Alzheimer's. I spoke w/her about #brain science & #caregiving. She's 18, her family has the #APOE4 gene - a risk factor for the disease - & she will study neuroscience to find a cure for Alzheimer's. She's smart, determined, & I had chills listening to her story and her passion. The senseless, fascistic #NIH cuts are imperiling the potential, the future of people like her, & our own.

  3. @_9CL7T9k8cjnD_. This is very true. My realization about this came when looking at brochures and ads for #AssistedLiving homes, especially those advertising #Memory Care units. It was often difficult to know who had #dementia and who was the #caregiver.
