Observations from today’s confirmation hearing for the director of the NIH: 1. bipartisan support for addressing dementia was on full display & 2. harmful myths about Alzheimer’s research continue to persist and that needs to stop. Our full statement: bit.ly/4bql5Nv

It was a tremendous honor to host the first AAIC Neuroscience Next Hub held in Pennsylvania at the University of Pittsburgh on Monday, as part of the 2025 edition of this global conference! We are immensely grateful to our all attendees, both in person and online, who participated in this event with us yesterday. A deep appreciation is also extended to our phenomenal speakers, ranging from early-to-senior career academic researchers from multiple institutions, members of the @AlzGPA, representatives of the Allegheny County Health Department and PA Department of Aging, as well as key members from our community fighting for change in dementia care, from persons living with dementia to caregivers. We were overjoyed to see such a large participation from our community and provide the ability for attendees to network and interact with each other. We hope all found this event informative and welcoming, and we are eager to draw on all the connections built in the near future! Be sure to follow the rest of the AAIC Neuroscience Next 2025 global, virtual, no-cost programming at other Hubs by going to alz.org/neurosciencenext. You can also rewatch our Hub livestream on-demand on the AAIC Neuroscience Next virtual platform! #AAICNeuro #alzassociation #pittresearch
