For those interested in the nuts and bolts details of AD research I wanted to let you know of a Alzheimer's Afternoons Seminar Series that is occurring online during the COVID-19 shut down. It is focused on apoe.
It is run by a group of researchers as a lab seminar series, organized via Twitter by ApoE Discoveries @ApoEdscvr.
This is a group of early to mid-career researchers. Not the famous names but the "in the trenches" AD researchers focusing on apoe4, and building their scientific careers.
It has an informal style. But good quality research.
Seminars are held online via Zoom at 3:00pm ET on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Listeners will see the presenter and slides, but not other listeners. Some Q&A occurs via a text-based chat function.
Seminars are recorded, and you can listen anytime.
You can see the speakers and topics listed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0
The first seminar had 160 "listeners".
This Twitter group also collated posters from an online Alzheimer’s Research UK conference, which was cancelled due to the pandemic. You can see these on Twitter.
