Accolades from AD/PD™ 2019

Taylor W. Schmitz

Canada

``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.``

Irena Rektorova

Czech Republic

``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.``

Peter J. Snyder

USA

``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.``

Randall J. Bateman

USA

``I enjoyed the meeting and found the discussion session of clinical trials that John Growdon and I moderated lively.``

Menahem Segal

Israel

``It was an excellent meeting indeed, one of the best. The organization, the scientific content and the warm and friendly atmosphere were superb. The attention to the small details and the high scientific standards, made this meeting a great success. Keep on with the good work!``

They commented on good selection on venue, town, country, list of lectures, poster exposures, food, etc. In my mind, this was indeed very successful meeting.``

Orly Lazarov

USA

``Congratulations on another outstanding meeting. There was a balanced representation of leaders, senior and younger scientists in the field.
