“New prize offers $2 million for finding key to Alzheimer’s in past research,” by Sharon Begley, STAT
“Is the key to Alzheimer’s disease1 lurking, overlooked, in the 100,000-plus scientific papers that have been published on this disease over the last century? A Texas businessman who lost family members to dementia thinks so, and on Monday he announced that there’s $4 million waiting for the people who find it: Prizes of up to $2 million will be awarded to those who comb the scientific literature, extract the key findings, and synthesize them into one simple explanation of the disease, said James Truchard, 75, an electrical engineer who recently retired as CEO of National Instruments, which he co-founded in 1976.”
LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):
Sounds like a hopeless task to me, but more power to them. Who knows?
