This is quite an exchange with @DavidAFrench about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a "dual state."

🧠 Next Generation Brain Health: Why Young Adults Matter in the Fight Against Dementia
A 2024 Lancet Healthy Longevity study launches a bold global initiative to identify brain health risks before midlife—targeting adults aged 18–39. Here’s what they're uncovering:

Key Risk Factors
🚬 Smoking & substance use
🧂 Poor diet & low physical activity
😴 Sleep disruption
😓 Chronic stress & social isolation
📱 Digital overload & low mental stimulation

Key Resilience Builders
🧠 Higher education & cognitive engagement
🏃 Regular physical activity
🌱 Healthy nutrition
🧘 Mindfulness & emotional regulation
🫂 Strong social networks

🌍 Global, inclusive research aims to stop dementia before symptoms start—not just in older adults.

💡 Prevention is proactive. Protect your brain early, live better later.
Repost to raise awareness! 🧠💪

Millions of older adults likely have minor memory issues that can later become #dementia. But only a fraction of them are diagnosed early enough for new treatments to stand a chance. https://t.co/wUsgzf62yZ by @cogcelia @WIRED via @BryanDJames

Now let's see if the algorithm let's anyone actually see this post 🙄

[Bryan D. James, PhD @BryanDJames]

Violating my pledge not to post here for this:

There are so many awful things going on in the country right now but I feel it's my mission as a scientist to communicate what is happening to health research. We are in CRISIS mode--this blog lays it all out https://t.co/Pyj3tTBQzL

[Bryan D. James, PhD @BryanDJames]

I don't have the answers on what to do, but I am resolved to 2 things: 1) make as many people as possible aware of what is happening to scientists and 2) not quitting--I love what I do, I know it's important to try to keep people healthy, and I am not getting forced out
