As I wrote earlier, I've run out of gas with respect to posting new insights on Alzheimer's research. But I'm still busy (and still OK). One thing I did was to post a YouTube video intended to update Baby Boomers on what's happened in the world of biology since we were in the 10th grade. It's relevant to an understanding of recent revelations in Alzheimer's research. You can see it by clicking here.
It does dig fairly deeply into molecular biology, and it's likely to go too deep for many of you. Also, I have some questions about how all of this makes sense, and I may disappoint some of you in where I go with it. Here is the index:
