SUMMARY:Inclusion in dementia research
DESCRIPTION:DRNI are delighted to introduce our next webinar\, Inclusion in dementia research.\nTaking place at 10.00 am on Monday\, 16th June\, this extended webinar will feature three speakers as well as an expert panel discussion. \nTo register\, please go to: https://forms.office.com/e/JSFKiP3z7v \n\nIntroducing our speakers:  \nProfessor Naaheed Mukadam is Professor of Psychiatry at University College London\, where her research looks at inequalities in access to dementia services\, including interventions to encourage earlier help-seeking for dementia in South Asian people in the UK. She is also interested in the epidemiology of dementia\, particularly environmental risk factors\, dementia prevention and how these may differ by ethnicity. Professor Mukadam is a member of the European Consortium on Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology(ECCroN)\, an international group that aims to improve the assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse individuals across Europe. Professor Mukadam was also author on the 2024 “Dementia prevention\, intervention\, and care: 2024 report of the Lancet standing Commission”. \nThe title of Professor Mukadam’s presentation will be confirmed shortly. \nDr Sarah Cullum is an Associate Professor in Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland and a Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry at Counties Manukau in Auckland\, New Zealand. She has over 20 years of clinical and research experience in dementia. Dr Cullum has led research on the epidemiology of dementia in Aotearoa New Zealand\, assessed ethnic disparities in access to care\, and co-developed a website to support carers in taking care of themselves and their family members living with dementia. She is currently an Atlantic Fellow at the Global Brain health Institute in Trinity College Dublin \nDr Cullum’s presentation is entitled Living with dementia in Aotearoa (LiDiA). Aotearoa New Zealand is a bicultural nation (Māori and European) with a growing population of Asian and Pacific peoples. Recent analysis of national routinely collected data suggests dementia prevalence is higher in Māori and Pacific peoples when compared with European and Asian\, and that inequities in dementia care for Māori\, Asian\, and Pacific people with dementia exist. The aim of this presentation is to describe the research and related activities that our multi-ethnic research group (LiDiA) undertook over a period of 8 years to finally obtain the funding required for the population-based IDEA (Impact of Dementia mate wareware and solutions for Equity in Aotearoa) programme which describes the extent and impact of dementia in NZ’s major ethnic groups. \nDr Georgia Richard is a Specialist Registrar in Neurology and an Irish Academic Clinician Training Programme Fellow. Her PhD project looks at cognition in long-term homeless adults. Dr Richard will present some preliminary findings from her PhD research\, titled Cognitive Impairment in People Experiencing Long-Term Homelessness\, Evidence and Relationships (CIPHER). Homelessness represents a critical public health crisis in Ireland and globally\, with the mean age of death for individuals experiencing homelessness in Ireland as low as 42 years. It is recognised that people experiencing homelessness (PEH) face disproportionately high rates of early cognitive impairment and dementia\, with significant personal and societal consequences. Despite this\, there has been limited research to date exploring the specific characteristics and associations of cognitive impairment within this population. This presentation seeks to address this gap by presenting\, for the first time\, detailed insights into the characteristics and associations of cognitive impairment among PEH in Ireland.

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
