news from #AAIC25 marks a moment so many of us in the Alzheimer’s and dementia scientific community have long hoped for. We can now say with confidence that lifestyle interventions can protect brain health in diverse communities in the U.S.

Congrats @kerryn_pike! So amazing that we are able to take the next step to bring evidence based cognitive interventions to people who need them! Looking forward to working together to make this happen! @CogTale @Deakin
Congratulations @kerryn_pike! Access to cognitive interventions must be accessible and equitable, no matter your location. Read more about the research study here: https://t.co/Imx3WljCvS

Fantastic to see the benefits of cognitive training highlighted in the @healthgovau National Dementia Action Plan. See @AlexBaharFuchs Cognitive Training for people with mild to moderate dementia 2019 Cochrane Review for further evidence and keep an eye out for an update in 2025!

Sad to have to leave #AAIC24 a day early and miss the launch of the Lancet Dementia Commission report but how good to be able to watch it On Demand on the train even if patchy due to terrible internet! Thank you to Prof Livingston and the rest of the Lancet team for the update!
