Fantastic to see this important topic highlighted in a plenary session by Prof. Ricardo Nitrini @alzassociation #AAIC21. ‘Traditional’ dementia assessment tools are biased towards Western, educated individuals. One size does not fit all.

The main findings indicate that individuals who are illiterate are at a significant disadvantage when assessed using traditional dementia screening methods. The findings emphasise the need for the development of tools that are suitable for individuals of all abilities

This is so important. Science is a life saver and a crucial investment by governments.

Virtually every aspect of the COVID vaccine, from the lipid nanoparticles to the mRNA technology, was developed in academic labs using public funds. But in the public's mind the credit goes to companies like Moderna/Pfizer. This is a missed opportunity to celebrate basic research
