What's your paper on? You'd better say cigars!

I wish. I’d certainly have more street cred.

I research the impact of stress and trauma on cognitive functioning broadly, and through the lens of epigenetics.

This paper is on the impact of a gene that’s highly associated with dementia and PTSD on cognitive functioning among young-middle aged veterans and elderly veterans.

Tldr; treating PTSD sooner may help cognitive decline among people at high genetic risk for dementia, but we need more longitudinal data to confirm.

Well then.... I'm gonna need to read some wiki articles and get back to you.

But if your looking for some examples of folks with dementia, look no further than the FOG crowd here.

My wife was completing her PhD dissertation on the effects of PTSD and education (both professional and academic) in veterans. As you alluded to, though, she found that there just was not enough data available for a comprehensive study.

Huzza, have you been in any branch of the armed forces and have you seen battle? And maybe that is not a fair question as I just thought of PTSD not related to that, but a in home shooting a watching a suicide. Which perspective are you coming from?

Almost! The association is very strong. We just can’t really determine the order of things without more time points. So technically we can’t tell whether cognitive issues puts someone at higher risk for PTSD or whether cognitive issues are consequences of PTSD. So ptsd = cognitive deficits? Yes. PTSD = cognitive decline? Unclear.

Anyways, I’ll stop boring you all with my research 😂 Feel free to dm me if you have questions.

No I haven’t been part of the armed forces. Regarding trauma history, I’d prefer to not disclose that. But I have worked in a VA and heard awful stories from family members. So I am (somewhat) familiar with some aspects of the horrors of combat.
 
Had a very productive day today. I took care of sick family members, and semi healthy ones. Knocked a lot off the to do list, finished up Christmas shopping, walked the dog in crappie weather and rescheduled some important events of today to a date where weather and health will be better served. Made good progress in career management and keep several adult beverages from feeling neglected. Lastly i did not have to use my AK. To that I say, I had a good day.

This is a beaut Jon, enjoyed reading it. 11 degrees and minus 5 windchill. NOT fun.
 
Yesterday I visited my old museum and caught up with former coworkers and saw some new improvements they have made there since I last visited pre-covid. Last night I spent several hours with one of my best friends in the entire world. This morning I had lunch with my old boss and some great conversation about life, in general. Then, tonight, we had dinner with friends we haven't seen in nearly 25 years who are currently stationed here in Hawaii. Such a great, great bunch of people over the past two days. My happiness meter is pegged.
