Please help us by spreading the word about AMiNDR to your friends, colleagues, and networks! Another way you can help us reach more listeners who would benefit from the show is by leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. It helps us a lot and we thank you in advance for leaving a review! 

Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted and hosted by Sarah Louadi, edited by Anusha Kamesh, and reviewed by Alyssa Ash and Ellen Koch. The bibliography and wordcloud were created by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). 

Big thanks to the sorting team for taking on the enormous task of sorting all of the Alzheimer’s Disease papers into episodes each month. For November 2021, the sorters were Jacques Ferreira, Christy Yu, Kate Van Pelt, Kira Tosefsky, Dana Clausen, Nicole Corso, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Ellen Koch, Elyn Rowe, and Naila Kuhlmann

Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, Jacques Ferreira for keeping everything running smoothly.

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.

We are specifically looking for help with sorting abstracts by topic, abstract summaries and hosting, audio editing, creating bibliographies, and outreach/marketing. However, if you are interested in helping in other ways, don't hesitate to apply anyways.
