Alzheimer/Dementia Writers

CALL FOR PITCHES: Being Patient is looking for pitches for profiles on inspiring people of color who are working to make a difference in the lives of people with Alzheimers and dementia (through research, advocacy, community organizing, etc). Deadline: 26 May 2022 Being Patient is a daily news site publishing trustworthy original journalism about cognitive health, neurology, and brain health with a focus on Alzheimer’s and other forms of neurodegeneration. To date, dementia research has been conducted mostly on white people. But race affects both risk & disease pathology. These pitches are for a “Diversity & Dementia” series—stories that elevate the importance of diversifying research/trials. Email all questions and submissions to Alexandra Marvar, Managing Editor of Being Patient, at: alex@beingpatient.com
