Accolades from AD/PD™ 2019

``Another AD/PD has come and gone! I am motivated by new ideas and new technologies on the cutting edge toward advancing our understanding of these diseases. The presentations at AD/PD clarify the 'big picture' of the mechanisms of neurodegeneration by linking research across multiple levels of analysis - from molecules, to cells and cell systems, to brain and cognition. I was struck by the depth of insight, especially in the plenary talks, and the collaborative atmosphere. I am now planning projects with two researchers in Europe I probably would not have engaged were it not for this conference.``

Taylor W. SchmitzCanada

``I have been regularly attending AD/PD since 2009 and I enjoy it tremendously. Although the conference grows bigger and bigger, there is still the same ``family`` environment which is great to be part of. AD/PD covers at least 2 gaps that are not covered by other conferences - it combines otherwise rather separate fields of yet the most prevalent neurodegenerative brain diseases that have a lot in common, and it covers both preclinical and clinical topics. I also like the conference format, where both senior faculty and junior researchers get the same time slot during the parallel sessions to cover their topic. This makes the sessions ``fresh`` and it gives young people a great opportunity to present in front of a bigger audience and discuss their work with the most experienced and knowledgeable people in the field.``

Irena RektorovaCzech Republic

``Thank you again for organizing and managing such a fantastic scientific conference. This year's AD/PD meeting was really of very high quality - in terms of scientific presentations - and it was well-run and the venue was excellent. I was delighted to be a part of the conference as a faculty member. We are clearly going through a very difficult time in our field, and the conference gave me some renewed hope that there are many potential scientific breakthroughs on the horizon.``

Peter J. SnyderUSA
