Dear Dementia Research Community:

For those of you interested in nutrition and dementia, there are two upcoming events that I would like to bring to your attention:

The 2018 NIH Alzheimer's Research Summit https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2BQVye5&d=DwMFaQ&c=XxU8ngzB_WPJXKyiin_6iQ&r=7WeLBHK6-7VVgxwTI_JRsDlzvgeqcEi5a1m5VX_pMNE&m=RXinG6O8ggmqv49XKFWyHxT3wT3r-2kmNNpCS1tStfo&s=aNtSWeC7M6RmPsTqyK4ZrXv-OSdSsDvnE4PnbuftQC8&e= is being held March 1-2 in Bethesda, Maryland. There are several interesting sessions, but one in particular, “Understanding the Impact of the Environment to Advance Disease Prevention” involves our professional interest area (PIA) Co-Chair, Prof Martha Clare Morris representing nutrition science. We encourage you to add to this discussion that will shape the research agenda in our field.

The ILSA Europe Symposium - Nutrition for the Ageing Brain: Moving Towards Clinical Applications https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2EAZnH4&d=DwMFaQ&c=XxU8ngzB_WPJXKyiin_6iQ&r=7WeLBHK6-7VVgxwTI_JRsDlzvgeqcEi5a1m5VX_pMNE&m=RXinG6O8ggmqv49XKFWyHxT3wT3r-2kmNNpCS1tStfo&s=AzgAoWxSbxk02PpcaZo6Z05B2eXFcXL550YZW1ZJhj4&e= is being held August 30-31 in Madrid, Spain. Translating knowledge about nutrition and diet to human clinical conditions remains an important challenge. This symposium will specifically focus on clinical aspects and novel strategies developed to determine whether diet and nutrients have efficacy in individuals affected by dementia and other neurodegenerative conditions.

I encourage you to re-send this message to any email distribution lists you may have. For more information call one of my cell phones below. Thank you,

With kind regards,
