Not sure how much time I'll have to write it up (plus the wifi wasn't functioning yesterday at the conference center), but you can follow along on Twitter (hashtag #asm2011). Full day tomorrow, and I saw at least 5 more MRSA/food studies in the abstract book that I'll have to check out. Read the comments on this post...

A. this past Saturday! The sold-out conference was their brainchild, and as far as I know, was the first to be planned by people with dementia for people with dementia. I'll post pictures and information from the conference in a few days. In the meantime, you can read Gabrielle Strobel's excellent summary at the Alzheimer Research Forum.

The symposium, called “Living Our Lives, Planning Our Futures” will feature talks by David Shenk, the author of The Forgetting, and Dr. Gary Small, Director of the UCLA Center on Aging and author of several books on improving memory and brain health. The event is hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association California Southland Chapter, in cooperation with the University of Southern California (UCLA) and the UCLA Alzheimer’s Research Center. The real meat of the program will be the eight breakout sessions on topics such as “Communications and Relationships,” “Stimulating the Brain,” and “Re-defining Early Stage Dementia.” Persons with early memory loss or demen...

Highlights which I will try to report on in more depth over the next few days included Mark Williams' opening keynote (an excellent summary of the development of mindfulness approaches in depression with some intriguing ideas about how these could be relevant in eating disorders), Kate Tchanturia's plenary and workshop on approaches to rigidity and inflexibility including the use of Cognitive Remediation Therapy, and Ken Nunn's wonderfully approachable and entertaining guide to neurobiology 'Everything you ever wanted to know about the brain in 90 minutes'.
