Being There for Classmates
Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease  Information

Glen Hewitt provided Ralph Tuccillo a PDF copy of this Scientific American Magazine - May 2024 (below).  It is a must read for folks dealing with Alzheimer's.  The entire magazine is devoted to Alzheimer's Disease...all 83 pages.  It is broken out into chapters so you can focus on what is important to you but I have identified some pages that are most relevant from my perspective.  I would start with these pages:  11-16, 36-41, 43-47.  That being said the entire article is great and covers the history, the future, the science, the issues and concerns about this disease.
