🎶Have you ever wondered what can we learn from the sound of our voice?

Dr. Defne Abur studies how voice frequencies change in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.
✨ These insights could pave the way for new therapies!

Our REACT team joined Brigit’s Garden to host a Nature Mindfulness & Forest Bathing session for older adults and people with dementia, together with their supporters.

It was a beautiful way to connect nature, community, and science — with discussions on dementia-related research closing the day.
