Episode 20- Alzheimer’s Awareness - Calling All Voices
01:03:57
Happy New Year from Behind our Science! January marks Alzheimer’s Awareness month in Canada and we are ringing in the new year with our first episode of 2024!
In Episode 20 we cover dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, community resources available for the dementia community and caregivers, and the multi-group “Calling All Voices” project.
In this episode we meet with Jessica Luh Kim, Project Coordinator for the Asian community Calling All Voices paper and podcast series with Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), to learn about her incredible work with DAA and Global Council on Alzheimer’s Disease. Through this collaboration Jessica shares her role in the development of a white paper and podcast series highlighting the lived experience of people with dementia within the Asian community.
While greatly stigmatized, dementia is not something to be ashamed about. We are excited to shine the light on this impactful effort from Jessica and the team behind the “Calling All Voices” Project. During this interview we learned the importance of community and available resources that educate the community and caregivers on cultural sensitivity and competence around dementia care. Please check out resources highlighted in our episode Dementia Action Alliance: https://daanow.org/?gclid=CjwKCAiA-vO...
Ready for some more science?

In this episode we interview Dr. Kelsey Dillehay from the University of Cincinnati about her experience as the FASEB representative for the ASIP during this year's Capitol Hill Day in Washington DC and have a final recap to our experience during Capitol Hill Day 2024.
Daisy was able to interview Mayank Chugh. A first-generation college graduate, born and raised in Anglophilic India who resides in Boston, MA. They discussed the intersection between poetry and science and how these 2 merge to make research success.
In this episode we focus on the importance of wellness in our every day lives.
Co-host Dr. Daisy Shu interviewed attendees of the ASIP 2024 meeting in Baltimore, MD and learned what wellness means to them. We hear from a diverse group of individuals in science from students to faculty and administrative staff. Our individual experiences shape what wellness means to us and it's important to pause and take care of ourselves to avoid burn out.
The Behind Our Science team also discusses evidence-based wellness, or rather the science behind wellness, and how your chronological age may not match your biological age. This topic is developing into an industry of its own and may be the future for personalized care.
