🧵 about "indirect costs"

Hi, it’s nice to meet you. I am a #brain scientist. My life's mission is to prevent #Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias...or to contribute enough puzzle pieces so that someone else can unlock the mysteries of disease.

Why some people have more fit brain cells at 90 when others’ start dying at their 30s? Hard to say! It is hard to study because human 🧠 is the least accessible.

@drneurochic.bsky.social et al discuss how to accelerate biomedical discoveries in brain health via transformative neuropathology.

You can still be a grown a** adult and have an "I forgot my homework nightmare" ...There I sat in an audience and they call me as the next speaker and also from stage ask where my talk was😱

double booked today for two talks might have something to do with it😆 I'm excited though and pptx ready 💪

Oh I have no doubt. I think the more and more we shift from considering individuals as outliers and see how they help to inform medicine and science, The faster we'll be able to tackle all biomedical mysteries. Great find!
