PhD candidate @CHeBA_UNSW studying appropriate cognitive tests for #dementia and #MCI for culturally and linguistically diverse (#CALD) older Australians
I’ve had the absolute honour to get to know @giovannacollar through the Ambassador program - and she has put together the MOST fantastic wrap up! 💜💜 If you’re bold (and brave 👟) enough applications are still open - what will your next 12 months look like?? 🧠
I am an @ISTAART Ambassador from the 2023-2024 cohort, and here’s a summary of what I’ve been experiencing in this 12-month @alzassociation volunteering program as a @zimmerneurolab second-year Ph.D. student currently based in 🇧🇷

Ever wondered about the stories of those who stand steadfastly with dementia researchers? For the @dem_researcher special family & careers week, I spoke with three researcher husbands. We dive into their experiences, the love, encouragement & unwavering support they offer. Don't miss it! 💕🔬
Probably one of my favourite shows to have hosted in 2023 + with a fun quiz! @GoodpodsHQ

Have you met the @ISTAART ambassadors? We had so much fun at #AAIC23, running (and jumping!) around in our purple shirts, helping out with the conference, making amazing friends, and so much more!
@samtani_suraj has kept me laughing throughout my whole phd, so I know this will be good!
… this counts as important science communication activities and networking right? 🧐
Social connections are so important for our brain health. We also found that at least monthly interactions with friends or family helped slow down cognitive decline.
Please share with your networks!
