Dear colleagues,
I recommend the New York Times article by Cynthia Gorney as an excellent story relevant to woman's health, aging and the challenge of communicating science and its complexity to the public. The blog comments provide a window into the complexity of perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms, some of which have direct relevance for the risk of developing Alzheimer's. There are clear phenotypic patterns that emerge which are relevant for basic science discovery efforts and clinical trial design.
