Show Notes

Melissa Grenier and Meghan Lemay from the Alzheimer's Association of MA/NH join Nichole to talk about their upcoming event, the Virtual Family Conference. This event, set for May 14 and 15, features several speakers and integral information for those living with Alzheimer's and dementia. There's help and support, too, for families and caregivers of those diagnosed, and those who want to learn more about the disease. Worcester Polytechnic Institute Biology Professor Pam Weathers talks with Nichole about their research of the sweet wormwood plant. Early research found extracts from the plant may be able to help in the fight against COVID-19!
