Adam Smith narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this guest blog, Adam challenges the scepticism around “personal branding” by reframing it as a tool for clarity rather than self-promotion. Drawing from personal anecdotes and practical advice, he explains how early career researchers can shape how they're perceived by being deliberate in how they show up, online and in person. With thoughtful encouragement, he demystifies what a brand is and isn't—and why even quiet, kind, reliable people can benefit from having one.

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-13-2025: Dr. Dawn debunks the common misconception about extra virgin olive oil's smoke point indicating oxidation damage, citing new research showing it remains stable and safe even at high cooking temperatures due to its high flavenoid and antioxidant content. She discusses critical timing factors for surgical procedures, sharing research that reveals a "weekend effect" with 9-12% higher mortality rates for surgeries performed on Fridays compared to early-week procedures. The show examines promising AI technology that can detect depression and other mental health conditions through voice patterns alone, potentially improving diagnosis in diverse populations regardless of language barriers. A caller asks about measles vaccines and Robert Kennedy Jr.'s controversial claims, with Dr. Dawn explaining different vaccine types and clarifying that while live virus vaccines can technically cause disease in immunocompromised individuals, this is extremely rare and preventable. Dr. Dawn explores the landmark "Nun Study" tracking 678 nuns over 30 years, highlighting discoveries about cognitive resilience including how early-life linguistic abilities correlate with reduced dementia risk and how some individuals remain mentally sharp despite having Alzheimer's brain pathology. The show discusses promising research on transcranial direct current stimulation for Alzheimer's patients, showing how electrical stimulation of specific brain regions improved verbal learning and word production abilities for up to eight weeks. Dr. Dawn examines psychological factors associated with dementia risk, noting that while negative thinking patterns correlate with cognitive decline, determining causality remains challenging. She shares a breakthrough in ALS research identifying neurofilament light chain proteins as a potential biomarker that correctly identified people with ALS more than 80% of the time and predicted survival rates. The show concludes with fascinating microbiome research on bile acids, explaining how gut bacteria transform liver-produced bile and how certain microbial bile acids can either promote or inhibit inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer development.

A Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Medicine, used a new technique called spatial transcriptomics to examine the brain's response to Alzheimer's therapies, revealing new molecular targets that could enhance the effectiveness of current therapies and not just slow the disease, but potentially improve patient outcomes.

So far in this series, we've seen Denis Potvin win the Calder Trophy as the NHL's best rookie after helping transform a hapless team into something resembling a professional one. We've seen him rocket up the charts of the league's best defensemen, capturing his first Norris Trophy at just 22-years-old. We've seen him win a second Norris after pissing off the entire hockey world, learning to open up emotionally, and climbing back to the mountaintop after a inconsistent follow-up season. Today we finally reach his final Norris Trophy year, in which the Islanders win their first regular season championship and Potvin has, to this day, the best single season a defensemen has ever had for this franchise. Potvin's 101 points on 31 goals and 70 assists in 1978-89 was by all accounts a spectacular campaign, highlighted by hat tricks, long point streaks, torrid periods of dominance and one hit that would result in an unfortunate injury and even more unfortunate chant that has gone on for far too long. With Potvin leading the way on defense, Bryan Trottier, Mike Bossy and Clark Gillies pushing the offense and Smith/Resch duo on top of their games, the Islanders seemed primed to win their first Stanley Cup. But their closest rivals made sure they had one last hard lesson to learn. This is, thankfully, the final time we'll see the 1979 playoffs in this series. As painful as that loss was to the players and the fans, that whole season stands as one of the most fascinating in franchise history. It is still the second best season in team history by wins and points and is the only one in which the team won four major awards. That roster had everything going for it. Until it didn't... at the worst possible time to the worst possible opponent. Denis Potvin's Islanders story doesn't end here but his offensive and statistical dominance does. He would captain four straight Stanley Cup winners and make the Hall of Fame by letting others in on the action and becoming a key player, rather than the focal point. He's still one of the three best players in Islanders history and I hope this episode makes that case as clearly as it can. Research and other assistance was provided by Kevin Schultz.

By winning the Calder Trophy in 1974 and the Norris in 1976, Denis Potvin had already established himself as one of the best defensemen in the NHL. That was the good news. The bad news was that his mouth and idiosyncratic disposition separated him from many of his peers and even his own teammates. An inflammatory series of diaries written during the 1976 Canada Cup tournament made many in and out of the game think of him as a petulant grouch or an outright villain. But by beginning his journey as a businessman, taking a more team-oriented approach to hockey and opening himself up emotionally to his teammates, Potvin - still just 24-years-old - was able to unburden himself from pressure and expectations. In a season in which the Islanders started out sloppy and ended up with their first division championship, Potvin was a rock of consistency. After watching his brother Jean get traded away from Long Island, Denis went on a second half scoring rampage, blowing past his defensive competition to reclaim the Norris Trophy crown and prove once and for all that he was the premier blueliner of the era. But in the playoffs, the once scrappy underdogs learned a hard lesson about being the favorite and having a target on your back. Denis Potvin remains one of the more fascinating figures in Islanders history. He was so good on the ice that any perceived cold streak or bad play seemed like the end of the world. He wasn't into the usual hockey guy things (aka just “hockey”) and had a million interests away from the ice. Had social media existed in the mid-to-late 70's, I'm not sure he would have particularly cared for it. There's an argument that even with a Calder and three Norris Trophies (the last of which we'll examine in our next episode) that he might have still been underrated then and now. So let's go back and see what made Denis Potvin so special. Research and other assistance was provided by Kevin Schultz.

Attention: This episode immediately follows the Billy Smith/Roland Melanson Jennings Trophy episode posted last week. If you have not yet, please stop this episode and listen to that one. For much of the 1982-83 regular season, the Islanders did not look like three-time defending Stanley Cup champions, let alone a team that could win the Cup again. They were old and occasionally leaky, and sometimes they seemed downright disinterested. But once the playoffs started, the “real” Islanders showed up again, led by the man they called “The Money Goalie.” Billy Smith didn't take losing lightly. And he didn't like being the weak link or the feeling of letting his friends down. After a series against a pesky playoff-debuting Washington team that required the aid of creasemate Roland Melanson to win, Smith became a man on a mission. He battled and scrambled and pushed and parried his way through series victories against the Rangers and Bruins before eventually dismantling the cocky, high-flying Edmonton Oilers and angering all of Canada in the process. No matter what the Oilers did on the ice or what their coach/GM said or what the media printed, Smith gave it back in spades, refusing to concede even an inch. When the Cup final was over, and Smith was rightfully awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, he continued to vocally lay waste to the people that had made him Public Enemy No. 1 in his home country. Perhaps more than anyone, Smith felt the condescension or dismissiveness people had for the Islanders despite their success. And he was determined to make them pay for their insolence. Hooo, boy. This is a fun one. We also touch on the Islanders' other three Conn Smythe winners and a few that missed out despite some outstanding postseason performances. Guess that's the price you pay for playing on one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Research and other assistance was provided by Kevin Schultz.

Before 1982, the Vezina Trophy was a team award, going to the NHL goaltending tandem that gave up the least goals against during the season. When the criteria was changed to voting by the league's general managers, the first winner was 31-year-old Billy Smith, who finally reached the pinnacle of his career after a decade in the league. A year later, Smith and his creasemate, 22-year-old Rollie “The Goalie” Melanson, turned in a masterful duet, consistently bailing the three-time champs out of trouble during a tumultuous season to take home the Islanders' first Jennings Trophy. Regardless of who was hot and who was cold, Smith and Melanson each gave the Islanders a goalie they could rely on. While the defending Stanley Cup champs battled fatigue, injuries, complacency, and challenges from all comers, the two goalies emerged as the team's true strength. And when it became clear they had a shot to reward their goalies with the Jennings late in the season, the trophy gave their teammates the motivation they needed to finish strong and defend the Cup again. Despite their age difference, Smith and Melanson shared similar qualities of a fiery combativeness and a bitter hatred of losing (not to mention each being a good quote). They supported and celebrated each other as the season went on, knowing everyone was counting on them. But when it got to playoff time, one of them took the puck and ran with it... which we'll cover in the follow-up episode next week. Research and other assistance was provided by Kevin Schultz.

Part Two of our look at Mike Bossy's sensational rookie season begins at a low point, a fight-filled game in Detroit that Bossy later said embarrassed him. He thought he had put all of his old junior fears to rest once he joined the NHL and a line with Bryan Trottier and Clark Gillies. But a stumble at The Olympia was a wake up call. Over the next several months, Bossy resumed his scoring pace and eventually matched - then obliterated - Rick Martin's record for goals in a season scored by a rookie. The Islanders won their division for the first time and looked to be a serious contender heading into the playoffs. But Roger Nielsen, Tiger Williams and the rest of the Toronto Maple Leafs had other ideas... The decision to make this a two-part episode was a late one, but I think it makes sense. There's so much to unpack from Bossy's first season in the NHL, even almost 50 years later, that doing it in one episode would have meant either cutting content, or making the narrative too dense to fully comprehend. This way, we can sit back and really marvel at his immediate impact on the Islanders and on Long Island. It's not every day that a 21-year old player can be thought of as “legendary.” Mike Bossy wasn't an ordinary player. Mike Bossy's autobiography Boss: The Mike Bossy Story, co-written by Barry Meisel, was used extensively, with excerpts read by Michael Paul Smith.

Mike Bossy's rookie season in the NHL has been the stuff of legend since it happened. But breaking league records and bringing fans out of their seats as a young phenom hid what was really going on in Bossy's mind. While projecting preternatural confidence, the winger worried about going to the minors, being attacked by goons roaming the ice and of generally not meeting his own hype. Using Bossy's own quotes from his 1987 book, Boss, we can dive deep into what he was feeling and thinking during his time in junior, when he was deciding whether to sign with the Islanders or the WHA's Quebec Nordiques and during his first days on Long Island. Early in his first camp, Bossy was placed on a line with skilled center Bryan Trottier and burly left winger Clark Gillies, and immediately found his footing among the pros. But that didn't stop the old junior fears from coming true. This is Part One of a supersized two-part episode. In Part Two, we'll examine the rest of Bossy's rookie season, his friendship with Trottier, and a crushing playoff defeat that included a scary injury for the kid. Mike Bossy's autobiography Boss: The Mike Bossy Story, co-written by Barry Meisel, was used extensively, with excerpts read by Michael Paul Smith.

Mark Fitzpatrick came to the Islanders as a highly-touted goalie prospect and quicky established himself as a fiery NHL-caliber netminder. But right before the 1990-91 season, the 21-year-old found himself in a Los Angeles hospital with swollen hands and arms, and feet the size of footballs. Even when doctors were able to name his ailment as a rare blood disease called eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome or EMS, Fitzpatrick's frightening and frustrating ordeal to reclaim his playing career was just beginning. After treatments and stops and starts on the ice, Fitzpatrick was able to play 30 games for an Islanders team with slim playoff hopes in 1992. He became the Islanders' second ever recipient of the Masterton Trophy for dedication to hockey, but more importantly, became a beacon of hope to others suffering from EMS all across the world. While Fitzpatrick was battling for his life and career, the Islanders of this time were an absolute trainwreck. Their scorers couldn't score, their defense wasn't consistent, their owner was an absentee cheapskate and their best player and only star wanted to be traded. Other than that, everything was great! It was all a far cry from where the team had been a decade earlier and a small taste of where things would go. And, yes, the use of Georges Bizet's “Habanera” aria as background music at times is an homage to Michael Richie's 1976 classic The Bad News Bears and a way to lighten the mood a little. Hearing it still makes me chuckle and picture a field of foul-mouthed kids who can't play baseball. That seems like an apt comparison to the early 1990's Islanders.

Season Two of Islanders Awards Winners is finally here. It's taken far too long to get to this point, but I'm proud of how these episodes turned out and I'm excited to finally release them to the world. Thank you all in advance for listening. The story of Al Arbour's one NHL Coach of the Year season begins and ends with devastating losses. In between was a franchise-record winning streak, several of the best individual seasons in team history, and the often ruthless pursuit of perfection. Arbour was a complex man - a hockey innovator who wore “dark suits and white shirts and ties that look like they were given as Christmas presents” and a father figure who pushed his players relentlessly, sometimes to the point of exasperation. But his drive was to win the Stanley Cup under any circumstance. And any stumble, no matter how minor, was unacceptable. Arbour was not afraid to butt heads with his best and most loyal players and they all understood it was all done in service of making them the best the could be. Arbour's use of video review, notes on opposing teams' tactics and installation of assistant coaches were all ahead of their time. The leaning on his wife Claire to not only record out-of-town games but to find out more about players' family lives in order to better understand and help them when he could, was critical and should not be overlooked. Man, what I would give to read those notebooks he kept on other teams. I can't even imagine the sheer amount of hockey knowledge they contained. Maybe they'll be released some day...

My two guests this week are passionate about improving life for people living with dementia, particularly through the education and training of those who support and care for them. Dr Keith Oliver is an expert by experience – 13 years' experience, having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2010, aged just 55 and forced to retire after 33 years in teaching, latterly as a headteacher. Prof Claire Surr, Professor of Dementia Studies and Director of the Centre for Dementia Research at Leeds Beckett University, has attracted global recognition for her research and leadership in dementia education and training for the health and social care workforce. Dr Oliver's roles and work within the dementia sector are almost too many to mention, but here's a flavour, starting with the honorary doctorate he received in 2021 from Canterbury Christ Church University.Keith Oliver has authored or co-authored four books on dementia since being diagnosed. He is an Alzheimer's Society Ambassador, a Kent and Medway NHS Trust Dementia Envoy, a member of the 3 Nations Dementia Working Group and a founder member of the Young Dementia Network. It's worth noting that the definition of young onset dementia is when it affects someone under the age of 65. Keith is often to be seen and heard on television and radio and at national and international conferences, and regularly contributes to newspapers, magazines and professional publications. He recently contributed to an Open University Publication entitled Education and Training in Dementia Care – a Person-Centred Approach, co-authored by Prof Surr. Forming part of the Reconsidering Dementia series, the book is a deep dive into the complexities of this once neglected subject. Like all the other books in the series, as well as being scholarly, it spells out what the theories actually mean for those at the sharp end, such as people living with dementia, their families, those working in dementia care, policy-makers and professionals. Prof Surr's career has centred on the delivery of truly person-centred care for the 70 to 80pc of care home residents who live with dementia, with a specific interest in supporting care home staff in their roles and methods, and evaluating their impact. Most recently Claire has been involved in researching cancer care for people with dementia.Education and Training in Dementia Care – a Person-Centred Approach, an Open University Publication, is available from Amazon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It offers various resources, such as policies, guidelines, case studies, and examples of good practices, which are freely available for stakeholders to share and learn from. Users can submit resources, which are then filtered based on strategic action areas, country-specific information, and resource types. A rigorous review process, involving peer reviewers, a Focus Group of individuals with lived experience of dementia, and the World Health Organization (WHO) Secretariat, ensures the quality and adherence to good practice criteria. Users can leave comments and ratings to foster discussion and improvement. The GDO KE Platform works alongside the GDO data portal, which gathers and disseminates data from Member States on 35 key dementia indicators, aiding evidence-based service planning and policy strengthening. The GDO serves as the monitoring and accountability mechanism for the Global action plan and supports the data portal. Access to the GDO KE Platform and the GDO data portal is available for interested individuals. -- Essential Links: GDO KEP – http://www.globaldementia.org A blueprint for dementia research - https://bit.ly/43wbtfq GDO KE peer reviewer application - https://bit.ly/3XfDKVj GDO resource submission form - https://bit.ly/42yK0Iv Global action plan 2017 – 2025 - https://bit.ly/3MZiRZt -- Full biographies on all our guests and a transcript can be found on our website https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk -- Like what you hear?
