Always fun to be out in the community! Stopped by the Mid-Autumn Festival, where the Community Living Campaign & Alzheimer's Association Northern California Chapter were raising awareness about emergency preparedness and brain health 💙♥️🧠💜
Saw Equal Justice Initiative’s The Legacy of Slavery exhibit. It traced a line from the transatlantic slave trade to mass incarceration today. The takeaway: how mundane & systemic the machinery of slavery was, and how directly that legacy shapes the world we live in today.

🧠💜Joy and laughter are good for brain health! That’s a wrap on the Alzheimer's Association®’s International Conference (#AAIC26)! An incredible week spent with a beautiful community of brilliant researchers in the dementia field. Excited to put new insights into practice!
I call the IAGG conference the “Olympics of aging conferences” because it only happens every four years. What an exhilarating week. Leaving inspired and already looking forward to Sydney, 2030!
✨Wrapping up an amazing week with MUARG and the BSG. Despite the heat, being with scholars doing brilliant critical gerontological work was exactly the fresh air I needed. Loved meeting new researchers and catching up with colleagues who inspire me every time I read their work or hear them speak.
🥰What an unforgettable day. We gathered to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the UCSF Institute for Health & Aging, founded by the remarkable Dr. Carroll L. Estes, reflecting on the past, present, and future of a legacy that has shaped science, advocacy, and social justice in profound ways.
🥳Honored to celebrate TNDC’s 45th anniversary of keeping people housed, dignified, and aging in place in the Tenderloin and throughout San Francisco. Housing is more than four walls. It’s stability 🌇✨
Feeling grateful and energized after our annual C-CARERS Stakeholder Task Force Meeting. We celebrated milestones and set goals for the next phase of work, centering caregiver voices and lived experiences to shape Alzheimer’s research, supports, and services. 🧠💜
