These women say they were sexually harassed by Rutgers professors. Why won’t the university investigate?

New Jersey's largest university has a policy of not investigating most incidents that are more than two years old - even if the professor is still teaching on campus.

Some foods are better for cognition than others, but when you eat at this NYC cafe, #brainhealth is always the main course.
In honor of #NationalAvocadoDay, learn about @HoneyBrainsLife, a café in #NYC that serves up flavorful meals and education about #brainhealth. https://t.co/3UveJceYcT

This reminds of a study from early 2017 that found people who had sleep disorders were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment an average of nearly 10 years earlier than people who didn't.

After so many recent disappointments, like a lot of people I was holding my breath on this one. This is so, so encouraging.
Eisai / Biogen's BAN2401 is shown to slow cognitive decline and reduce amyloid in the brain in clinical trial patients with early-stage #Alzheimers. https://t.co/BuOhJE03ED

I'm excited to share that my next investment in Alzheimer’s research is in a new fund from @TheADDF called Diagnostics Accelerator. I’m joining Leonard Lauder and other philanthropists in committing over $30M to develop a new way to diagnose Alzheimer’s.

Great piece from @TheADDF Even if we can get PET scans covered by insurance, the better long-term answer is simple, inexpensive, non-invasive tests to detect Alzheimer's early.
In the "Fighting Alzheimer's" insert in USA Today, our CSO @a_hfillit writes about the importance of funding new tests for #Alzheimers, and how early detection can save trillions in heath and caregiving costs.
