As we come to the end of 2021, it is important to reflect on the amazing accomplishments of many of our ReMind Lab team members.

The ReMind Lab is excited to introduce our three undergraduate research assistants: Justin Do, Paige Seitam, and Riley Noga.

Congratulations to our ReMind Lab team member, Emily Bratlee-Whitaker for receiving the 2021 PhD Student Champion award from the Pennsylvania State University’s Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence.

When a 60-year-old tells her nurse she’s been forgetting things — a dinner night with friends, a neighbor’s name, or to call for a grandchild’s birthday, for instance — the nurse may respond several different ways: The nurse might show concern and order follow-up tests, minimize the worry as normal aging, discount it as a depressive moment, or more.

The Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence (CGNE) has officially announced their first-ever cohort of gerontological scholars.

When is forgetfulness a sign of impending Alzheimer’s disease? A Penn State research project funded by a $1.6 million grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) could lead to earlier identification of people at risk for the disease and provide guidance for people concerned about their own memory loss.

Older adults often report memory problems even when cognitive testing is normal. A new analysis in BMC Geriatrics shows that healthcare providers should take note of these memory complaints as they can predict later depressive symptoms. In this blog post, the authors of this study explain how they reached this finding and what it means.

The Penn State College of Nursing has received $250,000 in funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to develop networks for community-based nursing research throughout Pennsylvania.
