The following article is a collaboration between members of the 2024 Neuronline Community Leaders program. The program is a group of active SfN members who are interested in cultivating the sharing and discussion of resources among SfN members on the Neuronline Community. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) are debilitating diseases that take away an individual's identity, self, and devastate their loved ones. In addition to family and communities, AD and ADRD pose social and economic burdens globally, affecting economies, policies, and healthcare systems. This burden of dementia is also projected to disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries.

In the next interview in the Meet the ECPA series, Katherine Gonzalez shares what inspired her to pursue a political science degree in addition to chemistry in her undergraduate studies, and what she is focusing on now as she pursues a PhD in neuroscience, all at the University of Florida.

Katherine Gonzalez (she/her/hers) was born and raised in South Florida and is Cuban American. She relocated to Gainesville, Fl., in 2016 to attend the University of Florida, where she majored in chemistry and political science and minored in her third language.
