A big thank you to all those who have been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.

Blood tests are becoming available that detect #Alzheimer pathology years before symptoms appear. But when is the best time to diagnose? Should people with positive biomarkers be labelled as being in the "preclinical stage" or "at risk" of developing the disease? www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n

what happens when we slash US public funding for a biomedical field, & increase the availability & significance of private funding, when the media generally become less restricted by traditional/expert regulations? unfortunately, i may know the answer, based on some related experiences 1/

I see families insisting that patients stay at home, where they are often lonely, frightened and at risk because “we could never do that to Mum”. Care homes aren’t perfect, but they are warm, safer than many alternative environments and full of caring staff and other residents 24 hours a day.

Reflecting on yesterday, important that those who are opposed/concerned to AD engage with the processes and don’t become conscientious objectors. We can be vigilant for potentially treatable features and presence of self- or external coercion. Leaving this to those who are pro would be dangerous.
