SUMMARY:Young Dementia Network: Supporting the autonomy of people with young onset dementia
DESCRIPTION:Autonomy and independence are cornerstones for how most of us want to live our lives\, a hope that doesn’t change with the onset of dementia. However\, dementia can bring issues and impacts that affect people’s autonomy. Our webinar on Wednesday 18th June 2025 at 12.30-1.30pm will explore some practical ideas and resources that can support ways in which autonomy can be maintained for younger people with dementia. \nLinda Clare\, Professor of Clinical Psychology of Ageing and Dementia at University of Exeter\, will draw on her research to describe the elements that make it possible to experience a good quality of life when living with dementia. Some of the tools and resources that have emerged from this research offer practical ways to promote autonomy and choice in people’s lives and will also be touched on – including the ‘Living with dementia toolkit’\, ‘My life today’ and ‘My life\, my goals’. Finally an action plan manifesto directed at others to support autonomy and created by people with dementia and carers’ will be shared. \nThe second half of the webinar will be a conversation between Rachael Litherland\, Director\, Innovations in Dementia and Allison Batchelor and Chris Norris\, who both live with young onset dementia\, building on the ideas around empowerment\, autonomy and choice raised in Linda’s presentation. They will discuss the making of the co-produced resource ‘My life\, my goals’ – a practical guide full of hope to help people to set and reach their goals. Allison and Chris will also discuss what autonomy and choice means to them. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Improving the lives of laboratory zebrafish
DESCRIPTION:Zebrafish are commonly used in biological and biomedical research and interest in how to maintain and promote higher standards of welfare for this species continues to grow. In this webinar\, Professor Robert Gerlai will explore how an ethological approach\, grounded in an understanding of zebrafish behaviour and ecology\, can improve care of zebrafish in the laboratory and scientific outcomes. He will share findings from pilot studies focused on improving the welfare of zebrafish within his laboratory by investigating tank size\, stocking density and handling methods. Robert will also place emphasis on the importance of having high standards of animal welfare for improving reproducibility and reducing variability and animal numbers. \nThis webinar is the first in an upcoming series focused on evidence-based welfare refinements for laboratory animals. Aimed at everyone working with research animals\, the series highlights topics with practical relevance to support positive change in day-to-day practice. \nAbout the speaker\nRobert holds the position of John Carlin Roder Distinguished Professor in Behavioural Neuroscience at the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto (Mississauga campus). He is a leading figure in neurobehavioral genetics and zebrafish behavioural neuroscience research. He has published over 350 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals in addition to several book chapters and books\, which together have been cited over 25\,000 times. Robert has received numerous awards and recognitions\, including selection as the North American recipient of the 2024 IQ Consortium/AAALAC International Global 3Rs Award for his work on refinements to zebrafish handling. \n\nRegister to Attend \n\n\nTalk abstract\nHow to improve the life of zebrafish in our laboratories? The importance of the ethological approach – Professor Robert Gerlai \nIn the past\, the zebrafish was viewed as an egg-production factory\, and most maintenance conditions were geared towards efficient and cost-effective mass-production of embryos. However\, by now the zebrafish has become popular in most subdisciplines of biology\, well beyond embryology\, and in both basic research and biomedical\, translational\, studies. With this increased interest has come the realisation that numerous aspects of zebrafish maintenance conditions and experimental procedures employed in our laboratories may be suboptimal for this species. In this talk\, I argue that systematic analyses\, which parametrically manipulate environmental factors and measure their effects\, are needed. I also argue that the starting points of these analyses should be information gathered about the natural habitat (ecology) and the natural behaviour (ethology) of the zebrafish. I present a theoretical example for why keeping zebrafish under unnatural conditions may lead to elevated error variation in the laboratory\, and how this translates to reduced replicability and reproducibility of experimental results. I also present a couple of experimental examples for the first pilot studies we have conducted in my laboratory on improving conditions for\, and procedures with\, zebrafish: 1\, optimization of tank volume and fish density in zebrafish housing; and 2\, human handling methods. I argue that better understanding of the ethology and ecology of the zebrafish and optimization of maintenance conditions and of some common experimental procedures should reduce error variation\, increase statistical power\, and thus allow the investigators to use fewer animals in their studies. I conclude that what is humane and good for these fish is also good for the experimental biologist.

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - The Importance of Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session\, we hear from Dr Hamied Haroon & Dr Yolanda Ohene from The University of Manchester on the importance of equity\, diversity and inclusion. \nEquity\, diversity and inclusion aren’t just values to aspire to—they’re essential to good science. In dementia research\, where lived experience\, culture\, and context deeply shape how diseases are understood and addressed\, who is at the table matters. But how do we ensure our work reflects the diversity of the communities we serve? How do we move from statements of intent to real structural change? Today\, we’ll explore why embracing equity\, diversity\, and inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the key to making dementia research more innovative\, impactful\, and just. \nSpeakers\n\nDr Yolanda Ohene is a neuroimaging researcher at The University of Manchester\, developing MRI techniques to study the blood-brain barrier in Alzheimer’s disease. With a background in physics and medical imaging\, she is also a committed advocate for equity\, diversity\, and inclusion in science. \n​Dr Hamied Haroon is a Research Fellow in Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Imaging at The University of Manchester\, where he develops advanced MRI techniques to detect early signs of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. Born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease\, he has transformed personal challenges into a distinguished career in science and advocacy. As the founder and chair of the National Association of Disabled Staff Networks (NADSN)\, Dr Haroon champions equity\, diversity\, and inclusion across academia and the public sector\, striving to improve opportunities for disabled professionals. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 30 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10 minutes each\, the host will then ask questions and the livestream will end. The speakers will then join the online chat and interact with the audience\, answering questions and giving those who attended a chance to share their thoughts on the topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable to join exclusivley in Dementia Researcher Communities – Online or in the App\n\nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:BSG Annual Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the British Society of Gerontology 54th Annual Conference\, 25-27 June 2025\, University of Surrey\, Guildford\, UK. \nThe British Society of Gerontology Annual Conference attracts around 400 delegates from around the world\, comprising academics and others interested in a wide range of issues related to ageing. In 2025 the conference will be held at the University of Surrey\, Stag Hill campus. Whilst the University of Surrey has a long-history of research\, knowledge exchange and public engagement about ageing\, it now hosts the Centre of Excellence on Ageing\, established in 2023\, with its partner the Global Initiative on Ageing Foundation (GIA) under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). This multi and inter-disciplinary centre brings together over 60 fellows at the university whose work addresses a wide range of ageing related topics and issues. \nThe conference theme this year will be ‘Care\, Creativity\, Connection and Change’. We hope this will inspire debate and discussion on the interrelationship between these different\, but connected\, areas of ageing and social gerontology. To help explore our theme our confirmed keynote speakers are Professor Helen Manchester (University of Bristol)\, Professor Julienne Meyer (City University) and Dr Jo-Pei Tan (Manchester Metropolitan University). Building on the strengths of recent BSG conferences\, the University of Surrey Conference will include keynote addresses\, flagship symposia\, opportunities to engage with the BSG Special Interests Groups (SIGs) and several\, themed special events.  \nThe University of Surrey is based in Guildford\, in the heart of the Surrey Hills National Landscape\, an area of importance and status akin to a national park. Accommodation will be available on the University’s Manor Park campus and there are a range of hotels and guest houses locally for those who prefer to stay off-site. The conference dinner will take place on campus on the Thursday evening. The town of Guildford has excellent transport links for national and international travellers – London Waterloo is 40 mins by train and Heathrow and Gatwick airports are within easy reach via public transport. \nIn addition to the main conference\, the Emerging Researchers in Ageing (ERA) pre-conference session on 23rd  and 24th June 2025\, will give early career researchers (ECRs) the opportunity to present their research\, engage in workshops\, and network with other ECRs. It welcomes presentations on ageing-related topics from early career researchers at all stages. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the University of Surrey in June 2025! \nRegister to Attend \n\nKey Deadlines & Dates\n\n13th November 2024 – Abstract Submission Opened\n\n\n17th January 2025 – Symposium Submission Deadline\n\n\n24th January 2025 – Abstract Submission Deadline\n\n\n31st March 2025 – Abstract Notifications\n\n\n25th April 2025 – Early Bird Registration Deadline\n\n\n1st May 2025 – Registration Deadline\n\n\n\n25th-27th June 2025 –  British Society of Gerontology 54nd Annual Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to announce that the Abstract submissions portal for the 54th Annual Conference of the British Society of Gerontology hosted by the University of Surrey from 25th – 27th June 2025 is NOW LIVE . \nAbstract Submission Deadline: Friday 24th January 2025 \nPlease use the following link to submit an abstract through Oxford Abstracts. \nImportant: please read the information below before submitting an abstract  \nThe conference in 2025 is being organised as an ‘in person’ event at the University of Surrey.

SUMMARY:Introduction to COSMIC
DESCRIPTION:🌍 Discover how COSMIC unites global cohort studies to uncover risk factors for dementia. Join this session on harmonised data\, SCD\, and global collaboration in research. \nCohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium\, or COSMIC\, is an international consortium that combines data from population-based longitudinal cohorts studies to identify common risk factors for dementia and cognitive decline. It is an Australian-led collaboration by the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) at UNSW Sydney\, Australia\, and is funded by the National Institutes of Health\, USA. There are currently 59 member studies from 39 countries from six continents. COSMIC facilitates a better understanding of the determinants of cognitive ageing and neurocognitive disorders. This is being achieved by: harmonising shared\, non-identifiable data from cohort studies that longitudinally examine change in cognitive function and the development of dementia in older individuals (60+ years)\, and performing mega- or meta-analyses using combined\, harmonised data sets that yield collated results with enhanced statistical power\, in addition to comparisons across diverse ethno-regional groups. \nThis presentation will highlight the current activities of COSMIC and directions for the future\, including an appeal for greater involvement in COSMIC projects to expedite discovery and global equity to dementia research. A practical guide to conducting a COSMIC study will be provided\, using a multi-country investigation into the prevalence of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) as a case example. The key steps involved from proposal to cohort selection and data harmonisation to analytical strategy and interpretation will be outlined\, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of working with large-scale data across culturally and ethnically diverse populations. Attendees will gain insight into the collaborative processes\, methodological considerations\, and key findings that demonstrate the value of harmonised\, cross-national approaches in global cognitive ageing research. \nRegister to Attend \n\nSpeakers\nPerminder Sachdev\nPerminder Sachdev AM MBBS MD FRANZCP PhD FAHMS is Scientia Professor of Neuropsychiatry\, Co-Director of CHeBA\, UNSW Sydney\, Clinical Director of the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) at the Prince of Wales Hospital\, Sydney\, and Director of the Centre of Research Excellence in Vascular Contributions to Dementia.

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - Developing a Conference Abstract
DESCRIPTION:A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session\, we hear from Sara Erzsebet Zsadanyi & Wasiu Balogun exploring how to craft a great conference abstract. \nA great conference abstract is more than a summary—it’s your first chance to get noticed. In dementia research\, where competition for attention is high and word counts are tight\, every sentence matters. But how do you distil your work into something concise\, compelling\, and clear? How do you convince reviewers—and attendees—that your research deserves a place on the stage? Today\, we’ll break down the craft of writing a standout abstract\, exploring how to communicate significance\, spark interest\, and open the door to new opportunities. \nSpeakers\n\nSara Zsadanyi is a PhD Student in the Sant Pau Memory Unit – Neuroimaging Core and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Originally from New Zealand she moved to Barcelona\, Spain to undertake her PhD. Her research is focused on neuroimaging of small vessel disease in Down Syndrome and autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease. \nDr Wasiu Balogun is a Postdoctoral Associate at University of Pittsburgh. Originally from from Nigeria\, he completed his PhD in Malaysia\, and is currently working in the Karikari fluid biomarker lab\, developing and testing potential biomarkers in human fluids. His motto is work hard and play more. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 30 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10 minutes each\, the host will then ask questions and the livestream will end. The speakers will then join the online chat and interact with the audience\, answering questions and giving those who attended a chance to share their thoughts on the topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable to join exclusivley in Dementia Researcher Communities – Online or in the App\n\nWatch the Recording
