Fighting Alzheimer's with science and empathy - Science Arena Brazilian biologist is leading research that seeks to develop a simple, less invasive method for diagnosing the disease that affects her mother

Science Arena featured some of my research alongside my mom’s diagnosis. I’m sharing this to raise awareness and help break the stigma around Alzheimer’s. She’s truly amazing and living well, despite the disease. 🥰🧠♥️

Today we exhibited poetry and paintings by people living with dementia to explore memory, identity, and creativity through art. A powerful reminder that creativity knows no boundaries. 🎨 #ArtAndDementia #CreativityBeyondLimits #MemoryThroughArt @labenufscar.bsky.social
