It helps us a lot and we thank you in advance for leaving a review! Don’t forget to subscribe to hear about new episodes as they come out too.

 

Thank you to our sponsor, the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging, or CCNA, for their financial support of this podcast. This helps us to stay on the air and bring you high quality episodes. You can find out more about the CCNA on their website: https://ccna-ccnv.ca/.

 

Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Anusha Kamesh and reviewed by Sarah Louadi and Judy Cheng. The bibliography and wordcloud were 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 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.
