Alzheimer’s in 2023: Latest Advances in Diagnosis, Care, and Prevention
Alzheimer’s disease was first described by the German neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906. Today, it is regarded as the most common form of dementia. In this class Dr. Bruno Giordani will provide background information on Alzheimer’s disease and explain what is going on in the brain when someone has this form of dementia. We will learn about the latest findings from this year’s Alzheimer’s Association International Conference and several other recent conferences where new information is being presented, including information on risk factors, early detection, innovative prevention and treatment approaches, and new initiatives to support research. Bruno Giordani is a professor at the University of Michigan in the Departments of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Psychology, and in the School of Nursing. Dr. Giordani currently serves as Associate Director of the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Center. His research interests include identification of early signs of cognitive impairment and cross-cultural applications of new assessment and intervention models.

Organizing Your Digital Life: Messy Files, Old Apps and Unused Accounts, and Photo Disarray
It’s all too easy to let our technology get out of hand to the point where we feel disorganized and stressed. In this class, Jim will discuss three of the biggest technological culprits that leave us feeling overwhelmed: messy file organization, the clutter and risk of unused apps and accounts, and storing and finding our photos. Jim Keene will show us how to clean up our devices so they are more streamlined, and we can find what we want when we need it. Jim Keen holds a B.A. in communications and an M.A. in educational studies from the University of Michigan. He currently owns and operates Keen Focus Technology Tutoring.

HYBRID: In the classroom and online. A Zoom link will be sent to all one day before class.
After two decades of planning, construction, and testing, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched on Christmas Day 2021, and became fully operational in July 2022. Its first year of operation has been a spectacular success, producing important data on exoplanets as well as stunning images of galactic nebulae and distant galaxies. In this class Philip Hughes will discuss how telescopes work, the unique challenges of placing a telescope in space, and the science goals that motivated the JWST mission. These goals were to understand the properties of exoplanet atmospheres, the formation of the first stars, and the formation of galaxies. We will learn about the latest results and how they challenge current ideas in areas such as the formation of structure in the Universe. Philip Hughes teaches in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the high-energy particles and magnetic fields in the jets of plasma associated with supermassive black holes in galaxies.

IN-PERSON: The Elderwise classroom at the Vineyard Church
FREE of charge for Members and Nonmembers
Presenter: Joan Bulmer and Members of the Elderwise Tech Team
Where Did My Zoom Link Go? And What’s with the Elderwise Website?
Can’t find that Zoom link? Was it there yesterday and now it’s gone? Where could it be? Does the Elderwise website make sense to you – can you easily find the Fall Calendar to print out and then locate all those classes you want to take? What about printing the list of classes you have signed up for to stick on the refrigerator – is that even possible? Come to this free session where Joan Bulmer and other members of the Elderwise Tech Team will be on hand to offer assistance and explanations. Bring your laptop if you want, and someone will be available to take a look at it for you. Join us and let us help. Joan Bulmer and members of the Elderwise tech team (Toby Teorey, Mary Miller, John Stewart) will be on hand to help you solve the computer and technical issues you may be having. They may not be experts, but they have learned a lot with their Elderwise experience and are very happy to help.
