Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted and hosted by Naila Kuhlmann, edited by Scott Prins, and reviewed by Anusha Kamesh. The bibliography was made by Salodin Al-Achkar and wordcloud was created by Lara Onbasi (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 February 2023, the sorters were Elyn Rowe, Christy Yu, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Kevin Nishimura, Anelya Gandy, Salodin Al-Achkar, and Rob Cloke. Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, Lara Onbasi, Joseph Liang, Judy Cheng, and Christy Yu, for keeping everything running smoothly. AMiNDR was founded in 2020 by Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Elyn Rowe, and Naila Kuhlmann. 

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.
