So many people are now coming forward and sharing their experiences, thoughts and feelings on life, having received or sharing life with someone who has received a diagnosis of some form of cognition problem or dementia. We love these blogs, and feel they can help Early Career Researchers in so many ways; reminding us all that there are people behind the experiments, helping us understand what is really important to people and carers living with the disease, and better understanding life behind the diagnosis.
