@LEAD_Coalition @dana_fdn Thank you for sharing my article! It was such an education to write this, and truly inspiring. Only question: why isn't music harnessed more for dementia?

[Brenda Patoine @BrendaEPatoine]

Yes, yes they can. (spoiler)

@dana_fdn Oh, very cool. Thanks for sharing this. Such an eye-opening story that makes me wonder why music therapy isn't prescribed for EVERY LIVING PERSON!

[Brenda Patoine @BrendaEPatoine]

I had no idea this was the #4 story on @dana_fdn website for 2022. Cool. @TheBRAINBeat

#Bestof2022 our #4: If a new wave of research proves music therapy is significantly beneficial and easily “dispensable,” the savings in terms of well-being and of monetary costs would be immense. Story by @BrendaEPatoine https://t.co/k67v43mbp7 #neurosociety

@HarmonyShift @dana_fdn Thank you for sharing. Writing this article really opened my eyes to the (scientifically validated) healing potential of music!

1st piece in a new beat for me, applying 33 yrs of #neuroscience writing to #solutionsjournalism, which @soljourno calls "investigative journalism about what goes right." Turns J-school on its head. Challenging and fulfilling to write. More coming.

There is a dementia crisis.

Can music therapy come to its aid?

@HaydenDublois @BrendaForVT @vtdems I think she said "I'll show up for Vermonters." #misquote How misleading...

[Brenda Patoine @BrendaEPatoine]

@momdogz You bird-dogged Manchin's yacht with kayaks?? I freaking love you all.

[Brenda Patoine @BrendaEPatoine]

@adamdavidson I hope you realize how white-privileged this sounds when no Vermonters can afford to buy a home right now, in part because of home prices skyrocketing due to Covid refugees. But hey, at least Brooklynites can buy here! Woo hoo. #tonedeaf

[Brenda Patoine @BrendaEPatoine]

right? New Yorkers bragging about buying a farm in Vermont when no Vermonters can afford to buy a home. Connection? 🤔

[Brenda Patoine @BrendaEPatoine]

@SenatorBalint 😡Atrocious! Way to support victims of domestic violence @GovPhilScott, who are mostly women of course.🤔One more reason to elect WOMEN.
