The memoir I wrote with #UCSF #neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain is now available through the HFC website. Please check out the bookshop and see the other books on #caregiving and #brain health. Thank you to #LaurenMillerRogen and #SethRogen for your advocacy and profound generosity.

"#Alzheimers is relentless, and we as advocates, must be as well."

#3GoodThings

1. Seth Rogen spoke up for science to the techbros whose $ supports an autocracy dedicated to the evisceration of research that makes our lives better by alleviating suffering. Zuckerberg, Bezos et al were there to celebrate the Breakthrough Prize, & Rogen called them out on their bad, bad faith. #Hero

2. I moderated a grief support group for the Rogens' foundation, HFC. The meeting helped some people who were having a hard time. #EndAlz

3. This bougainvillea #Bloomscrolling

My #website went live yesterday and I want to share it (again) because I'm so pleased with how it came out. There are links to some of the #dementia outreach presentations I've done, as well as some very pretty images. Hope you take a look and like!

#Literature

The "prodromal" phase of #Alzheimer's can last 15-20 years; that is, the brain is being invaded -- slowly -- before clinical presentations appear (for example, word-finding; memory; spatial disorientation). Check out this explanation of a new blood test whose predictive accuracy seems extraordinary. @erictopol also discusses the benefits of intervening early and addressing #modifiableriskfactors .

Thank you @cobalt for directing me to this article.

Today's cuts to #Alzheimers research coming up in Booker's filibuster. -- Thank you Senator #Cortez-Masto of Nevada for sharing the story of your grandmother who died of Alzheimer's. As you say, this is personal.

It was an honor to be a panelist on #Dementia Stories for Impact: Dementia Life Course and Storytelling, sponsored by the #AlzheimersAssociation and #UCSF. My fellow authors and colleagues talked about the importance of #narrative, #empathy, #brain health, and Dr. Bruce Miller and I talked about our work together on my #memoir, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain. I hope you find this discussion helpful.
