Short Talks
The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation had invited young investigators (including graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early-stage faculty) to submit their work related to drug development for neurodegeneration, for the Short Presentations.
Upon acceptance, presenters had recorded a video “walkthrough” of their presentation (no longer than 4 minutes), which acted as a guided presentation for attendees to review. To provide attendees the opportunity to ask questions about the short presentations, ADDF hosted live Q&A sessions as outlined in our program.
Each such presentation (recording and abstract) had its own chatroom where the presenter could interact with multiple attendees/visitors. Additionally, video chats were also be available from the chat modules.
These lectures are typically work-in-progress. We expect attendees to treat the short presentations exactly as they would in-person talks and not to cite them without permission of the presenter.
