 Dr. Campbell and others from the Brain Resilience & Diversity in Aging & Dementia Collaboratory were interviewed for the latest edition of Mind Over Matter magazine. They argue for the importance of including more diverse samples in our research and examining how lifestyle and demographic factors can affect neurocognitive aging. Check out the articles here.
 Dr. Campbell was awarded a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Discovery Grant worth $235,000 to fund the lab's research for the next five years. Thank you NSERC for the continued support!

 On Sunday May 26, the Campbell lab took part in the Alzheimer's Society of Niagara's annual walk to raise funds for local dementia care and support. The lab raised $1811 this year, bringing our total funds raised to $11,770 since 2019 for this great cause! A big thank you to Emily Davis for organizing our team every year - we promise to keep the tradition going after you graduate!
 Dr. Campbell took part in a symposium on Brain Resilience and Diversity in Aging & Dementia on May 15 and 16 in Montreal. This is part of a Knowledge Synthesis and Mobilization project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research aimed at advancing theory, research methodology, care, and policy in brain health, aging, and dementia research by making it more inclusive and representative of the diversity of our aging population. The recording of her talk (and others) can be found here, and more information is provided on the Collaboratory's website.
 Dr. Campbell gave a free public webinar on April 30, 2024, entitled, "Unlocking the Aging Mind: How Attention Shapes Memory Across the Lifespan". If you missed it, you can watch a recording here.
 Congratulations to new Campbell lab grad student, Lamis El-Sabaa, who was awarded both an Ontario Graduate Scholarship and Horizon Graduate Scholarship from Brock to fund her MA research. Lamis will be focusing on the relationship between sustained attention and other attention mechanisms across the lifespan for her MA thesis project, as well as the relationship to memory. More information about her research and what drew her to Brock can be found in this recent Brock News story.
