The University of Michigan Center to Accelerate Population Research in Alzheimer’s (CAPRA) recently launched Minding Memory, a podcast about research on Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias.
Minding Memory is hosted by health service researchers Matthew Davis, Ph.D., M.P.H., associate professor at the U-M School of Nursing, and Donovan Maust, M.D., M.S., associate professor of psychiatry at Michigan Medicine. Each episode will cover compelling research and talk with leaders in the field about how their work is improving the detection and treatment of dementia.
In the first episode, published on October 11, Davis and Maust introduce themselves, the Minding Memory podcast, and interview CAPRA Center Director, Julie Bynum, M.D., M.P.H. Upcoming season one episodes will cover early dementia detection, the different types of dementia, FDA approval of a new drug to treat dementia, and more.
Future episodes of Minding Memory will be released on a biweekly basis. Interested listeners can subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcasting platforms, as well as accessing them directly from the Michigan Medicine Podcast Network or the CAPRA website.
