Dr Sam Moxon - Are we Proactive Enough about Dementia?

Dr Sam Moxon - Are we Proactive Enough about Dementia?

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Sam has been doing some soul searching recently, and he got to thinking about health, remembering something that was mentioned in a recent podcast recording. Sam recently hosted a podcast with some pretty eminent researchers (check out the latest show on our main podcast) involved in the Race Against Dementia (RAD) initiative. One of the guests was talking about an interaction he had with Sir Jackie Stewart, the founder of the charity. He was recalling a conversation they shared where Sir Jackie expressed his frustration at how slow things seemed to move in dementia research. That was, I think, a part of the reason he started the charity. He wants to bring that F1 level of speed and innovation into the field. So how can we improve this image of slow progress, and try and feel a little better about our future? Sam explores in this blog.
