In this podcast we share a few selected highlights from the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) day two and day three of the main event in Toronto and Online, 27the - 31st July.

Dr Shea Andrews, Assistant Professor at University of California San Francisco hosts the show with special guests:

• Dr Joe Butler, NIHR ARC Research Fellow at University of Sunderland

The AAIC brings together distinguished basic scientists, clinical researchers, early career investigators, clinicians and the care research community at the largest and most influential international conference on dementia science. They share theories and breakthroughs while exploring opportunities to accelerate work and elevate careers.
