AAIC Neuroscience Next Conference Round-up
In this week show, Adam Smith is joined by an extended panel of early career dementia researchers, to discuss their highlights from the AAIC Neuroscience Next Conference. AAIC Neuroscience Next organised by the Alzheimer’s Association was a global, no-cost virtual conference taking place on the 9-10th November 2020. It showcased the work of students and early career investigators in cognitive, computational, behavioural, and other areas of neuroscience research. In addition to the scientific presentations, attendees were given access to information on funding and career workshops and provided with networking opportunities. The panellists for this show are (for the first time) all from outside the UK. We were delighted to be joined by: Lindsay Welikovitch a PhD Student from McGill University, Canada (soon to be Dr having recently successfully defended her thesis). Courtney Kloske, PhD Student from the University of Kentucky, USA. Vee Balendra a Medical Student from St James School of Medicine, USA. Dr Wade Self a Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Chicago, USA. João Pedro Ferrari Souza a MD and PhD Student from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. _____________________________________________________________________ You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website: www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk A transcript of this podcast is also available here https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-aaic-neuroscience-next-conference-roundup _____________________________________________________________________ If you missed the live conference, don’t worry – ISTAART members receive extended access to all content through 10th December 2020 (30 days for non-members who have already registered).
