As we count down to the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Toronto #AAIC #AAIC25 this clip features Dr Shana Stites, Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Chair of the ISTAART Diversity and Disparities PIA. She shares how ISTAART and its Professional Interest Areas (PIAs) have opened doors to global collaboration and knowledge-sharing in dementia research. Dr Stites describes the benefits of virtual participation, from joining webinars to simply listening in, helping researchers at all career stages find their community and contribute to advancing inclusive research.
This clip is taken from a full episode of the Dementia Researcher x ISTAART Relay Podcast, hosted by Professor Owen Carmichael. The episode explores inclusive participation in dementia research, ethical considerations, community engagement, and the broader work of the Diversity and Disparities PIA. It’s part of a daily podcast series showcasing the work of ISTAART PIA members, their research priorities, and what they have planned for AAIC 2025.
Listen to the full episode and others in the series to hear how ISTAART members are shaping the future of Alzheimer’s and dementia research.
