This talk will be an introduction to Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART), which is a global community of researchers, clinicians, professionals and students, to network, collaborate and advance research to detect, treat and prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It is completely free for students and provides a lot of benefits including access to the twenty-nine professional interest areas (PIAs) that one can join depending on one’s specific interests. ISTAART recently introduced a year-long ambassador role for graduate students interested in dementia research. More information on the ISTAART experience: https://aaic.alz.org/role/istaart-member.asp
