Class at Drury was most interactive!
Posted: October 7, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Dr. Roger Young, Drury University Leave a commentAlways special to be a guest speaker for a college Biology Class! Thanks to Roger Y., my talk at Drury University’s Biology Class was the most interactive & media-rich presentation ever! Incorporating multi-media (videos & websites) has always been important to have in every classroom, don’t you think?)
And look what is still quietly displayed on a shelf in his office (see below)! Thank you Roger Y!

honest truths about Alzheimer’s Disease
Posted: September 30, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's Disease, DIAN, Dr. John Morris, OASIS Leave a commentThe world is blessed to have Dr. John Morris alive & well at Washington University in St. Louis, MO! Listening to him speak on behalf of Missouri Cures Education Foundation, OASIS, & the Alzheimer’s Association, generated all types of positive, learning emotions, including curiosity, frustration (regarding low Alzheimer’s Disease research funding), joy (learning how low my & my family’s risk is), determination, satisfaction (knowing worldwide Alzheimer’s research hub/DIAN is headquartered in St. Louis)…to name a few… What an exceptional speaker/doctor, who took the time after his presentation, to sincerely & simply answer questions from the audience! Surely everybody got the feeling they can trust John Morris & help to move his Alzheimer’s Disease/DIAN research forward!
