On the 7th September 2020, Adam Smith hosted the Dementia Research Chatathon LIVE - to share information on the wide variety of research taking place across the world, and the raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. Please continue to donate and help Adam meet his £5,000 target - details can be found at www.chatathon.uk

In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with:

Dr Anna Volkmer
Speech and Language Therapy Researcher, University College London / University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
I am interested in speech and language and decision making in all dementias, and particularly rarer ones such as language led dementias (primary progressive aphasia). I am particularly interested in development of interventions to support people and their families in communication and interaction, in order to maintain relationships, independence and QoL - @volkmer_anna

Natasha Clarke
PhD Researcher, St George's University of London
I am investigating early detection of Alzheimer's disease in spoken language, using machine learning to find subtle changes that may help spot signs of disease - @psychinthecity_

Dr Lindsey Sinclair
Clinical Research Fellow, University of Bristol
I’m a psychiatrist specialising in older adults, although I’m also qualified to treat younger adults too. My research focuses on psychiatric manifestations of dementia and psychiatric illness as a possible risk factor for the later development of dementia. I’m particularly interested in the complex relationship between depression and Alzheimer’s disease.

Asking questions, and helping everyone to know more about some of the great research taking place to beat dementia.
