Hi everyone,

I'm a neuroscience student and freelance writer, and I'm currently reporting a feature for Business Insider about a part of dementia caregiving that often goes unspoken: how adult children gradually become caretakers not just of a parent's daily needs, but of their sense of reality.

I'm interested in speaking with adults who have cared for a parent with dementia or significant memory loss. Some experiences I'm hoping to learn more about include:

• Repeating conversations or answering the same questions many times a day
• Deciding when to correct a false memory and when to let it stand
• Taking over finances, driving decisions, medications, or appointments
• Balancing caregiving with work, school, parenting, or other responsibilities
• The emotional experience of watching a parent forget important memories or aspects of your relationship
• Feeling as though you've become an interpreter between your parent and the world around them

The article will explore both the emotional and practical realities of caregiving, including the growing burden placed on families as long-term care becomes increasingly expensive and difficult to access.

Interviews would be really short and conducted by phone, Zoom, or email, depending on your preference. Business Insider is also interested in including family photos if participants are comfortable sharing them, though that's not required for an initial conversation.

If you're willing to speak or would like more information, please comment below or send me a direct message. You can also reach me at jpgendin@bu.edu.

Anyone know where I can find the ne203 textbook? I want to get a head start before next fall

I'm a neuroscience major finishing my first year under grad with a 2.98 gpa. This is not laziness or lack of trying just no matter what I did I could not get a good grade in neuro while doing pretty well in other courses like general chemistry or comp sci which are known to be hard but I got 2Cs(first and second semester neuroscience)

It has been a huge dream and passion of mine to go to law school and fight for the rights of those with mental disorders with a scientific basis. But now with the neuro gpa law school seems hopeless. I've gotten straight as in Hs and got into 2 ivies I've just really struggled this first year and have been so lost.

What can I do

Anyone who took notes in the class pm me mine suck I put in so much effort and got a D on both tests idk what I'm doing wrong:(
