Great progress in the field at #AAIC20 and need therapies to go with the biomarkers to #ENDALZ! I really couldn't have predicted this 5 yrs ago! #NYTimes got that right! "Amazing isn't it?"
Breaking News: A long-awaited blood test for Alzheimer’s is in reach, scientists say. It could speed up treatment research and aid in diagnosing dementia patients. nyti.ms/3jN5V9Q

It’s quite difficult to detect early-stage #Alzheimer’s or mild cognitive impairment. This is why many remain undiagnosed. You can make a difference. Please, help our scientists understand the factors that can prevent #dementia 👉 mindcrowd.org

I love my job. Grateful every day for the foundational support that the @alzassociation has provided for me and for so many of my early-career colleagues.
In 2018, @mlzuelsdorff received an Alzheimer's Association Research Fellowship grant to expand her research into how social environments impact risk for Alzheimer’s in diverse populations. Learn more about Megan's exciting research on our blog: bit.ly/2OuIkiD. #ENDALZ

On my way to #AAIC19, can't wait to discuss our fMRI study about how prior knowledge enhances associative learning in the healthy elderly but not in MCI due to AD, and why we should care. P03-09 / P3-356 on Tuesday🙋
