#GivingTuesday is around the corner and gives us time to reflect on how community support helps us transform research, collaboration, and education within the study of neurodegenerative diseases. One of our interns remarked, "Within the institute, everyone has the opportunity to learn from one another on equal footing. Remember, the more you invest in this experience, the greater the rewards. Reflect on how you, as a student, a community member, and a possible future healthcare professional, can contribute to enhancing the lives of those affected by neurodegenerative disorders."
