Great photo of our #Tanzania co-leads Prof Richard Walker and Dr Catherine Dotchin (NorthumbriaNHS) and our lead Research Associate in #Mysuru, Dr Bharath Du. #GACD2019 has been a invaluable opportunity to bring together our network of researchers across four countries!

I am wondering what it will take to some people to see what is in front of their eyes. Plenty of data showing that football increases the risk of CTE and dementia. Is the risk worth taking? The earlier they start, the greatest is the risk. #CTE nytimes.com/2019/11/16/spo…

I felt sad today, a gentleman with adv. dementia had his annual 'dementia review' with GP just 2 weeks ago. No discussion of DNACPR/advanced care plan, his wife now facing very difficult decisions in an emergency situation. We need to all work together & take every opportunity.

Our researchers @De_Oliveirass and Fabiana da Mata spent the afternoon with Sara Evans-Lacko in Sao Paulo today discussing the next steps of the STRiDE Dementia Project's stigma-related work package - some fantastic work coming up soon!!

I want to share with you a 2016 review on #synaptopathies that I was fortunate to contribute with. This arose from the International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) Advanced School in 2015 w/ several folks and came out Journal of Neurochemistry. Glad to track and see it's been fairly cited so far... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Today my 82 year old friend had the hospital security team called to him because he was frightened, confused, frustrated, bored & not listened to... sorry, I mean he was ‘aggressive’. This is what hospital stays for people living with #dementia can look like. Devastating 😔😪💔

In light of the #COVIDー19 developments, we have paused all participant contact in #Brazil, #India and #Tanzania. Our top priority now is to ensure that our teams keep well and we will support them in any way we can.

À luz dos desenvolvimentos do #COVID-19, pausamos todos os aspectos do projeto que envolvem contatos com participantes no #Brasil, e também nos países parceiros #India e #Tanzania.
