During the preliminary stages of the production of the PBS NOVA episode "Can Alzheimer’s Be Stopped I researched various topics related to Alzheimer’s disease (such as current treatments, medical research, scientific research, causes, etc..) under tight deadlines. I synthesized the science and created summaries of each topic for Sarah Holt, producer and director of the NOVA PBS episode. As questions came up about these topics (or we learned new information) I researched those questions, and modified the topic summaries accordingly. I participated in and assisted with both in-person and phone interviews with various Alzheimer's experts. I transcribed interviews for future review. I also did other research, writing, and editing as needed. I also helped edit the first draft of the outline for the show.
