Dementia often reduces a person's ability to communicate.
Health Studies professor @marie_y_s recently spoke with the @TorontoStar on ways to connect with a person living with dementia and provided some tips for health-care workers.

This research project hits home for me.
Incredibly impactful work from @marie_y_s @SamkatzCHARU @westernuFHS to use virtual reality to train health-care professionals working with those living with #dementia.
“It’s going to fill a gap in the community and in long-term care.”
Be EPIC-VR training, developed by @marie_y_s @SamkatzCHARU, is a person-centered communication training system for PSWs & other frontline caregivers supporting those living with dementia.

What happens in the brain when we hear a joke?
New research from @maggie_prenger, @MacDonaldLab1 and @Comadork, supported by BrainsCAN discovered that two distinct parts of the brain are responsible for comprehending and appreciating humour.

Is it a superintendent's job to care for elderly residents? No, but what do you do if their PSWs don't show up? We're hear Sharon Crawford's story. She's the weekend superintendent at the William Mercer Wilson Centre.
