SUMMARY:Could research help predict how dementia symptoms progress?
DESCRIPTION:After a dementia diagnosis\, many people and their families want to know what to expect from the future. But right now\, doctors don’t have ways to predict how an individual’s dementia may progress. \nScientists are working to change this by studying how dementia develops in different people. By bringing together large datasets\, they hope to spot patterns and discover ways to predict how dementia may progress. This research could help give clearer answers about what can be expected after a diagnosis and improve the support available. \nJoin Dr Timothy Rittman and Dr Miriam Vignando as they share their latest research studying how dementia progresses. Hear how their work is helping to improve predictions and what this could mean for future research\, care and treatment. \nRegister to Attend \n\nDr Timothy Rittman is an Alzheimer’s Research UK Senior Research Fellow and a Consultant Neurologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. His research explores how dementia progresses over time and how we can better predict its course. By studying brain scans\, cognitive tests\, and clinical data\, his work aims to give people clearer answers about what to expect after a dementia diagnosis\, helping to improve care and support for those affected. \nDr Miriam Vignando is an Alzheimer’s Research UK Research Fellow at King’s College London. Her research hopes to uncover the reasons why some people are more likely to develop dementia faster than others when they have the same diagnosis. She will use powerful computer analysis to bring together brain imaging and clinical data from people with dementia\, to spot patterns in progression. Her work could help revolutionise the information doctors are able to give people when diagnosing dementia\, as well as how they deliver treatments.

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - The Coaching Mindset
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 Professor Michael Coleman from University of Cambridge and Dr Kalisha Bonds Johnson from Emory University go beyond the Lab to explore Coaching Skills for Better Research Leadership. \nIn the fast-paced world of dementia research\, technical expertise is essential—but what about the human side of leadership? Coaching skills—like active listening\, asking powerful questions\, and offering meaningful feedback—can transform how we mentor others\, collaborate with peers\, and even lead ourselves. But how do we develop these skills in an academic culture that often prioritises results over reflection? And how can adopting a coaching mindset help us build stronger teams\, foster resilience\, and navigate complex careers with greater clarity? Today\, we’ll explore why coaching isn’t just for managers—it’s a powerful tool for every researcher. \nSpeakers\nMichael Coleman – is the van Geest Professor of Neuroscience in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences\, University of Cambridge. Michael leads a team that comprises exceptional researchers from around the world\, who work across a variety of disciplines in a highly collaborative environment. His research sits at the interface between basic and clinical neuroscience\, translating advances in axon and synapse protection to treat and prevent neurodegenerative diseases. \nDr Kalisha Bonds Johnson is an Assistant Professor\, Tenure track at Emory University’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff  School of Nursing in Atlanta\, Georgia. Kalisha graduated with a PhD from Oregon Health & Science University in 2019. During her PhD program\, she  was funded through several mechanisms\, including the SAMHSA at American Nurses Association Minority Fellowship Program and the Jonas Foundation as a Veterans Healthcare Scholar. She is focussed on the decision-making processes regarding  healthcare services for African American persons living with dementia and how these decision-making processes affect the quality of life of African  American persons living with dementia and their families. Kalisha is passionate about supporting early career researchers to find their path into research\, and securing the funding they need. \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
