SUMMARY:Synergy for Science 2026
DESCRIPTION:Throughout history\, scientific endeavours have traditionally been compartmentalized into disciplines\, where like-minded researchers converge to address specific problems from a shared perspective. This approach has undeniably facilitated focused research\, hastened the pace of discoveries and contributed to the major breakthroughs of the last century. However\, an unintended consequence of this specialization has been the development of specialized languages and a sense of belonging within these disciplinary communities\, ultimately fostering impermeable knowledge silos across the entire scientific landscape.  \nWhile the establishment of disciplinary boundaries has played a crucial role in shaping our modern society\, there is now a recognized imperative to transcend these boundaries and confront the substantial challenges facing our globalized world. The emergence of interdisciplinary science represents a departure from the norm\, driven by courageous scientists eager to construct cultural bridges between disparate communities. Pioneers of interdisciplinary science have achieved remarkable results\, powered by their unique perspectives. However\, while the intersection at the heart of interdisciplinary science is inherently dynamic\, signifying its vitality\, the downside lies in its relatively modest scale. When extracted from their original environments\, interdisciplinary communities frequently struggle to attain the critical mass necessary for a lasting impact on our evolving society. \nSynSci26 will mark the inaugural conference set to take place in Glasgow in July 2026. With the subtitle “Meeting for a Healthier Future\,” this event aims to bring together diverse communities to collectively address the mandate of the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) outlined by the United Nations. By emphasizing collaboration and innovative approaches\, SynSci26 seeks to contribute meaningfully to the pursuit of a healthier\, more sustainable future. We invite scientists\, researchers\, and thought leaders from various disciplines to be part of this historic occasion\, breaking down barriers and shaping a brighter\, healthier world through interdisciplinary science. Together\, let us pave the way for future SynSci conferences that continue to make significant strides in addressing global challenges. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Queer Minds Matter: Dementia\, Identity\, and the Politics of Being Seen
DESCRIPTION:How well does dementia research reflect the experiences of LGBTQ+ communities. And what happens when people living with dementia are excluded from the conversations that shape research\, policy\, and care. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dáithí Clayton will chat with Dr Claudio Di Lorito\, Senior Research Fellow\, Primary Care and Population Health\, University College London & NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) Advisor and EDI Lead\, King’s College Hub. Together they will explore the current state of queer dementia research\, with a particular focus on the experiences of trans and nonbinary people living with dementia. Drawing on both research and lived experience\, they will reflect on how identity\, visibility\, and inclusion shape the realities of dementia care and support. \nThe session will examine progress made within the field\, highlight ongoing gaps in knowledge and practice\, and consider how researchers\, practitioners\, and policy makers can better address the needs of LGBTQ+ communities affected by dementia. \nDáithí is a dementia researcher\, advocate\, and educator based in Belgium. Their work focuses on queer dementia research\, challenging inequities in care and representation while amplifying the voices and experiences of people who have often been overlooked within dementia research and practice. \nAttendees can expect a thought provoking and discussion led session with time for questions and conversation. \n\nRegister
