Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding!
We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES!

I'm not on Twitter as much these days. One reason: iNaturalist exists.
It's social media that helps science & which leaves me feeling good nearly every time I visit. Not just me, either. An NYTimes writer recently asked if it's "The nicest place online?"
