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 Michelle Grover, and reviewed by Joseph Liang and Anusha Kamesh. 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 May 2022, the sorters were Sarah Louadi, Christy Yu, Ben Cornish, Eden Dubchak, Kira Tosefsky, Elyn Rowe, and Ellen Koch. Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, and Lara Onbasi 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.
