What is The Memories Podcast?

Welcome to the Memories Podcast. I'm your host, Jackson Nguyen, and I am a biochemistry senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I am also a trained community representative of the Massachusetts chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Memories is a podcast/interview series that features in-depth, one-on-one conversations with leading global experts across a wide range of fields to explore Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia from numerous lenses. Through these conversations, I hope to deepen public understanding of AD and share the voices of those working to make a difference around the world. Memories is a personal passion project of mine where I hope to engage in fruitful conversations with experts to learn more about Alzheimer’s and spread awareness of its devastating condition to my community. Thank you for joining me!
