      We need more scientists with creative minds to help find these cures! Do you want to be a scientist?

      There are always new treatment and medicines being developed to both cure and improve peoples quality of life for diseases and chronic conditions. As Donna mentioned, there are always people with new ideas and new methods wishing to be tested, and it always needs more smart people to think of new ways to try and test options to solve these challenges

      As someone who works on dementia, I know there are currently no cures for it, sadly. But scientists are working tirelessly every day to understand the disease more so we can develop treatments. And as Donna says, we are always in need of more creative scientists to help fight these diseases!
