We are saddened by the passing of Michael Johnson, President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County. Through a partnership with CCANDL, he helped create research opportunities for local high school students. We are grateful for Mr. Johnson's dedication and the lasting impact he has had.
📣 New publication alert! Congratulations to CCANDL's Deling He on her recent publication! This study found that incorporating proper name recall into a commonly used cognitive assessment enhanced its sensitivity to plasma p-tau217, a key biomarker for #Alzheimers disease. Congratulations Deling!
Women are disproportionately impacted by Alzheimer’s. Not only are they more likely to have Alzheimer’s, they are also more likely to be caregivers of those living with the disease. Share the facts and join the fight to #ENDALZ: alz.org/facts.
🧠 Whatever your age or stage of life, there are so many reasons to take charge of your brain health today. During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, commit to taking the (re)think your brain 6-Step Challenge: rethinkyourbrain.org.
