I hear many people get their news from JO…this will be much more effective and impactful than anything we can say as scientists to the public. Over 600k views already. Give it a listen 🤓💉🧫🧠🦠 John Oliver on HHS www.youtube.com/watch?si=DWT...

Thank you @60minutes.bsky.social for giving the NIH freezes, termination, and proposed budget cuts the attention they deserve. ALL Americans, regardless of party, will feel this impact to their health far beyond one administration. www.cbsnews.com/video/nih-cu...

Please see a collective response from an esteemed group of leaders in the dementia field to the NYT article and book “doctored” by Charles Piller. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/o...

I am disappointed by the "Doctored" book. While a handful of scientists have put ego over integrity, this does not diminish from the tireless work of thousands of dementia researchers. Suggesting the field is fraught with fraud does a disservice to the millions of Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers
