Two days of intense work and interactions in the 5th LatAm-FINGERS investigators meeting in Dominican Republic. Unprecedented initiative in the field of dementia, gathering colleagues from 12 Latin American countries. Local work & local leadership with @alzassociation.bsky.social funding.

Honoring @mariacarrilloalz.bsky.social during the LatAm-FINGERS and the 10/66 investigators meeting in the Dominican Republic. We are very grateful for the continuous and valuable support of Dr. Carrillo and the @alzassociation.bsky.social to ADRD research in Latin America

Excellent editorial about the "modern life" in academia. Waste of valuable time and money. This scenario is even more worrisome in low- or middle-income countries, where research funding is much more limited.
