11 BAYCREST | 2024 Through podcasts, videos, websites, webinars, and other platforms, we spread awareness of dementia: how to deal with it, how to prevent it, and how to reduce the stigma and loneliness that comes with it. We educate professionals and the public alike. It's a tall order. Everyone learns differently and needs different information at specific points of their journeys. That's when it's most effective and most engaging. "Carrying out research at Baycrest provides me with the opportunity to hear stories from older people, share ideas, and learn from leading researchers, care practitioners, students, and families in a range of everyday situations. As a Baycrest researcher I get to be involved in unique inter-disciplinary discussions and on-site applications of research across a range of practice settings. What I enjoy most is witnessing how the latest knowledge in brain studies and research on care can positively impact the lives and experiences of older people and their care partners. The Baycrest community is a place where people are thoughtful about the work they do and share a passion and commitment to meaningful care." - Amanda Grenier, PhD, Norman and Honey Schipper Chair in Gerontological Social Work, Professor, University of Toronto "Baycrest Academy's world-class scientists are leading visionary research to pioneer the future of aging and brain health, with predictive neuroscience for precision aging.
