7 Tips for Talking with Someone who has Dementia • Approach from the front so as not to startle • Converse at eye level • Never argue or disagree; instead, join their reality • Keep it simple, stick to short specific statements • Reminisce - in general, older memories are easier to recall than recent ones • If an upset occurs, acknowledge their feelings and redirect with a change of scenery or new topic • Don’t be offended it you are not remembered in the moment; it’s not you it’s the dementia

7 tips for talking with someone who is living with #dementia

While I couldn't make it to an informal @aplaceforowls.bsky.social party tonight, I spotted this mug in the wilds of Minnesota. #decafandbaileys. #itsbeenanotherweek. #family

Yes! My friend Bri @notthecheese.bsky.social , and I are now connected in the open #bluesky, and also because we have season tickets to DU women's gymnastics and have 3 #grants (and 2 mentee grants) under review!! I feel if you have all these connections, you're likely to be connected for life.

Important real-world research led by Dr Dan Matlock and Dr Russ Glasgow and their team. #beeson #Geriatrics @cuanschutz.bsky.social

The Trump's administrations changes to NIH has already had a significantly negative effect on medical research.

#medsky

Dr. Frances Collins is a world-renowned scientist and a man of strong faith and conviction. For these reasons, he has always been a role model for me. This is a huge loss for the NIH and science in general. This is also a reflection of how bad things are for science right now in our country.

In these days of the "now times", I hate Fridays. Today is no different. Terrible things are being done to people I care deeply about - people who serve the common good as public servants.

I can't reach and hug all of my friends and colleagues who are affected.

We are all going to be affected.

This is important.

Please reach out to talk about Clinical Faculty Scholars Program or other early career researcher training options. Applications due March 21. @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Considering my March commitments. This is high on the list

Truly, given what I've observed of Japanese culture, society, current state, including family structures, caregiving needs and social isolation, I see this as emerging to meet a need, rather than being the desired ideal.

How many people do you know that currently have the flu?

I know two currently, in Denver, and I haven't asked a lot of people. It's just that common!

I will wear a mask in clinic today.

Public health matters. Vaccine development and distribution matters.

The VA leads and partners with Universities to conduct research that seeks to improve quality of care, especially for rural populations and through telehealth.

It is so hard to see colleagues not being able to keep their jobs.
