As the U.S. population ages, the number of people coping with a memory disorder or caring for a loved one with a memory disorder is rising. This issue’s cover story highlights our efforts to address one of the greatest challenges facing American families and the U.S. health care system, as our clinicians and researchers work to find innovative ways to help those in need and develop prevention strategies to stem the tide of memory disorders diagnoses in the future. You’ll also learn about our participation in a National Science Foundation-sponsored program that helps scientists and engineers take their research from the laboratory to the marketplace; be introduced to notable figures from the school’s history for whom our Learning Communities are now named; and meet alumni who are making a difference helping veterans here at home and treating patients on a hospital ship off the coast of Africa.
