Most people haven’t heard of this test, which is available in the US. It accurately predicts Alzheimer’s (not just if there’s a risk, but when). It is modulated by exercise and likely other lifestyle factors.
Here’s (almost) everything we know about it

This is so important. It's really awful & sickening the news of DEI programmes being cut, of trans/NB/intersex folks losing their rights, & whatever comes next.

But that doesn't mean you can't continue to support the people around you. It's harder without the programmes, but even more important ❤️
Mentors and advisors, a very impactful thing you can do right now is to assure your mentees from all backgrounds that you will continue to support them because their worth is not contingent on any program or funding mechanism 💕
