Thank you to the incredible Alzheimer’s Association for organizing the event and allowing me to be apart of it, through both the conference fellowship and ISTAART Ambassador program. And, of course, thank you to all the incredible scientists I met for making this an unforgettable week #AAIC25 💜
Thank you to the more than 11,700 researchers, clinicians and dementia professionals who joined us in Toronto & online for #AAIC25!
Together, you advanced science and clinical practice and have given hope to all those living with Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
