How brain cells are lost in Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s is a real puzzle, being tackled by many scientists in lots of different ways. In these talks, Selina will explain how we can better understand dementia, through growing brains cells in the lab, while Rachael will talk about what we can learn about brain cell loss in Parkinson\u2019s, from genetically engineered, microscopic worms. Suitable for all audiences- no science knowledge needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
