In honor of Black History Month, we'd like to recognize Dr. May Edward Chinn. Dr. Chinn was one of the first Black women physicians in the United States, she practiced medicine in Harlem for decades when Black patients were routinely denied care. She later contributed to early cancer research at Memorial Hospital, breaking barriers in both clinical medicine and research access. She was the first African-American woman to graduate from Bellevue Hospital Medical College, now NYU School of Medicine, and the first African-American woman to intern at Harlem Hospital. Lets celebrate her achievements!
The Dawn Alzheimer's Study team had a great time last week with @SenatorCCleare at her annual senior day! Thanks thank to all who stopped by to learn more!
Check out some highlights from the 57th Annual Salute to Seniors event at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY. We want to thank @westchestergov for giving us the opportunity to spread awareness and educate the community about Alzheimer's disease! If you'd like to learn more about Dementia, Alzheimer's, or how to get involved in research check out our page! Link: thedawnstudy.com
This Mother's Day, we honor all the mothers and grandmothers who shaped our lives — especially those affected by Alzheimer's. Whether you're a caregiver, a loved one, or a researcher, your strength drives us forward. 💜 Let’s keep fighting for better care, earlier detection, and a future without Alzheimer’s
🧠 May is Mental Health Awareness Month "May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a powerful reminder of how brain health impacts every part of our lives. At the DAWN Alzheimer's Study, we're committed to understanding how memory, aging, and mental well-being intersect — especially in African American communities, who remain underrepresented in dementia research. Let's talk about it, learn from it, and change the future together." For those looking to learn more about Alzheimer's or how to get involved in research, check out our website! thedawnstudy.com
Drawing the mind, one neuron at a time: A 2022 book walks readers through the life and work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the Spaniard whom many consider the founder of modern #neuroscience. Check out the #ScienceBooks Review on #WorldBookDay: scim.ag/3Et8H3g
🔬 Why Should You Get Involved in Research? Because your story matters—and your participation could help save lives. Whether it’s Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, diabetes, or mental health, research only works when everyone is represented. Here’s what getting involved can do: ✔️ Help scientists understand how diseases affect our community ✔️ Improve treatments tailored for us ✔️ Break generational cycles of illness ✔️ Create change that lasts You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need to have a PhD. You just need to show up—and we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
🧠 Brain Donation: What You Think You Know vs. Reality 🧠 Many people are hesitant about brain donation because of common misconceptions. Let’s clear a few up: ❌ “Only people with brain disease can donate.” ✅ False! Healthy brains are just as valuable for research. ❌ “It will affect funeral plans.” ✅ Donations are done respectfully and don’t delay services or prevent open-casket funerals. ❌ “I’m an organ donor, so my brain’s covered.” ✅ Not exactly—brain donation is a separate process. ❌ “My religion doesn’t allow it.” ✅ Most major religions support donation as a final act of compassion. Brain donation can change the future of Alzheimer’s and other diseases—especially in underserved communities. Learn the facts. Ask questions. And if you’re interested, we’re here to help you through every step.
🩸New blood test breakthrough! Scientists developed a test measuring MTBR-tau243 protein, potentially allowing early detection and tracking of Alzheimer's progression. Still in testing but very promising! Stay tuned. #Alzheimers #BrainHealth #EarlyDetection #Hope medicine.washu.edu/news/highly-ac…
🧠💜 Join the Dawn Alzheimer's Study team this Saturday, March 29 at 3:30 PM at River of Life SDA Church in Brooklyn! 📍 623 Utica Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11203 We’ll be sharing important info about Alzheimer’s disease, memory health, and how you or your loved ones can participate in research that supports our community. Come learn, connect, and be part of something bigger than ourselves. ✨ #AlzheimersAwareness #BrooklynEvents #DawnStudy #BrainHealth #CommunityMatters

AAIC Advancements: APOE & Lipid Biology conference in Miami, Florida, featuring Dr. Jeffery Vance from the University of Miami presenting “What is the impact of ancestry and APOE?”
The Dawn Study Alzheimer's Study at Columbia University is looking to understand how genetics play a role in disease onset within the African American community. In order to accomplish this, we have a great supporting cast. Meet Hasib Mia, one our research coordinators!
Understanding these differences helps researchers, caregivers, and loved ones provide better support. Knowledge is power in the fight against dementia! 💜 Have questions? We’re here to help! #DawnStudy #DementiaAwareness #BrainHealth
5/ Other Types There are other forms of dementia, like Parkinson’s Disease Dementia and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, which have unique symptoms and causes.
🎗️ Let's talk about dementia. Did you know dementia is not a single disease but an umbrella term for various conditions affecting memory, thinking, and behavior? Here's a breakdown of the main types. 🧵👇
