How closely were you following dementia research in September? Here are twenty questions on the month’s biggest stories from around the world: new studies and treatments, the latest trials and funding, and the people and prizes behind them.
There are four rounds of five questions, then a tiebreaker. You’ll find out straight away whether you were right, with a link to the source, so it doubles as a round-up of the month. It takes about ten minutes. Top the leaderboard by the closing date and you’ll be crowned our first News Quiz champion.
This is the first of our new monthly news quizzes. On the first Friday of each month we’ll publish twenty fresh questions on the month’s dementia research news, and every quiz adds to a season leaderboard. Play every month and your points build up, so whoever is top next September will be our first season champion. If you spot a story you think deserves a question, let us know.
