As a caregiver, I’ve learned so much from every guest - the scientists explaining cutting edge research, the caregivers sharing best practices (mindfulness!), and the people with neurodegenerative diseases sharing what it’s like from the inside. Thank you, UW! May God (and govt) preserve your funding!!!
I’ve learned so much from your podcast. Thank you for it and for all the work you do. I miss UW Madison! Thanks for passing some of it on to me.
If you appreciate deep-dive conversations in the vein of Peter Attia’s “The Drive” podcast, this one is _not_ for you. Even on topics with a seemingly limitless amount of interesting scientific information to explore, e.g. “APOE4”, the content seems to be aimed at an audience who would be disturbed or confused by an objective examination of statistics, relative risk, genetics, etc., and also uninterested in science itself as an intellectual pursuit. Also, many episodes are heavy on ideological s... more
Dr Williams broke down so many definitions and concepts in dementia care! Great job. Unfortunately, there are not enough available neuropsychologists to evaluate everyone with memory concerns. Screening tests, with a careful history, has a role in the diagnosis of dementia, as I saw in the non-academic memory center I worked in.
I am college-educated yet find the content too clinical for real-life application. I think it would be useful for those in professional caregiving roles. Personally, right now, I just want to hear about what’s normal disease progression, what to expect at the different stages, how to handle the daily challenges especially when both parents are aging. Double-blind, placebo-controlled, peer-reviewed studies are great fifteen years from now but some of us need help today.
