Want to learn to oil paint but are intimidated either by the flammibility or horror stories about it being like painting with mud? I’ve got the goddamn video for you because today we’re painting Wes Johnson! I’m not an expert on anything at all really, but what I do know is how to use dangerous solvents to make pretty pictures. 

This video is also part of my fundraising campaign as part of Fallout for Hope, raising money this month for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Also, if you're wondering how the hell to get a hold of Sheogorath's Mad Tea Party, IT IS NOW AVAILABLE VIA MY TILTIFY LINK!

I was very happy to see that rewards are very easy to set up in Tiltify, and that makes the process of bribing you, the viewers at home, with cool comics to support a good cause!

INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE SCIENTIST RECEIVES RESEARCH GRANT FROM THE ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION

The Alzheimer’s Association has awarded more than $159,000 to Claudia Mera Reina MD, M.Sc, PhD, postdoctoral research associate for the Stark Neuroscience Research Institute at Indiana University School of Medicine.

This research aims to better understand the complex relationship between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), two severe neurological disorders. TBI can trigger abnormal microglial activity, which may accelerate the development of AD-like pathology. This study focuses on Hexokinase 2 (HK2), a key glycolytic enzyme that drives inflammation in microglia. By investigating the role of HK2 in a mouse model of head injury, this research will help clarify how microglial metabolism contributes to the progression from TBI to AD, potentially uncovering mechanisms that inform future therapeutic approaches.

This grant award comes through the Association’s 2025 International Research Grant Program.

The Alzheimer’s Association funds more Alzheimer’s and dementia research than any other nonprofit globally to accelerate the field towards solutions for the global Alzheimer’s crisis. The Association is currently investing $430 million in more than 1,150 active projects in 57 countries spanning six continents.

“I’m honored to receive this recognition at this point in my career and grateful for the Alzheimer’s Association's support at such a critical moment in research,” said Mera Reina. “My passion lies in translational medicine, the critical link between scientific discovery and clinical application. We are hopeful that this research will contribute to the development of interventions that could benefit individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease after brain injury.”

Mera Reina’s passion for research began during her medical studies at Del Rosario University in Colombia. She earned a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, focusing on cardiovascular disease, and continued with postdoctoral training at the University of Chile. She is now expanding her expertise in the field of neuroscience through postdoctoral research at Indiana University. Her unique combination of clinical training and research experience in two critical areas of human health—cardiovascular and neurological diseases—fuels her commitment to advancing translational medicine.

Mera Reina actively participates in leadership development through various roles at Indiana University. She contributes to the biology efforts around TREM2 at the Target Enablement to Accelerate Therapy Development for Alzheimer's Disease (TREAT-AD) drug discovery center and serves as Mentorship International Chair for the Stark Postdoctoral Association (SPA), where she helps support fellow postdocs. Recent honors include Women in Neuroscience Research and Career Development Award from the Stark Neuroscience Research Institute, participation in the Association Research Fellowship to Promote Diversity Program (AARF-D) and more.

“Indiana has played a key role in many of the advances that are providing life-changing experiences for those living with dementia. We are thrilled to welcome Claudia Mera Reina to our community of researchers and look forward to her discoveries,” said Natalie Sutton, Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter executive. “Her work adds the exciting potential for new therapeutic strategies that could slow the progression of Alzheimer’s, inspiring hope for so many individuals and families who are affected by this terrible disease.”

Alzheimer’s Association funding has led to some of the most important research breakthroughs, including the first Alzheimer’s drug studies and recent treatment discoveries, the ability to visualize Alzheimer’s-related changes in the living brain, and advances toward blood tests. The Association also supports research that improves care for people with dementia and optimizes services for caregivers and families.

Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and more than 121,000 individuals are living with Alzheimer’s in Indiana alone, according to the Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures, an annual report released by the Alzheimer’s Association. By 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer's is projected to increase to nearly 13 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or stop the disease.

My eyes are liquifying out of my brain and the Sharpie smell is making me hallucinate, but I am on the verge of finishing what I hope will be my coolest fucking comic yet!!

The goal was to finish this in time for Wes Johnson's Voiceapalooza which starts....today. So I'm a little behind. But this will be available in print form VERY SOON! I will be sharing information on how to get a hold of it very soon as well.

Looking Back on the Fight to End Alzheimer’s in 2024

As we approach the new year, we are reflecting on some of 2024’s top accomplishments and stories here in Indiana and across the country. Join us in taking a moment to look back at the events, research, advocacy and most of all, the people who made 2024 yet another momentous year in the fight against Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

January

Staff and volunteers represented the Greater Indiana Chapter at the 2024 Alzheimer’s Association Community Leaders Summit. During the Summit, the Greater Indiana Chapter was recognized as #5 in the nation for The Longest Day, #5 in the nation for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Indianapolis, #5 in the nation for volunteer-led education programs and #4 in the nation for achieving reach goals.

February

During Advocacy Week of Action, the Greater Indiana Chapter advocates pushed for legislation to ensure Hoosiers have access to critical biomarker testing. SB 273 passed the Indiana House of Representatives by a 94-0 vote in February.

Volunteers from across Indiana gathered for the first-ever ALZ IN Volunteer Summit. Volunteers learned about the latest developments in research, the Alzheimer’s Association’s vision for the future, the importance of volunteer engagement and the power of sharing your story.

March

Built on the legacy of Chocolate Sunday, we hosted our inaugural INSPIRE Benefit. The brunch gala in Indianapolis raised more than $620,000 reaching a new record in the 30+ year history of the gala.

State Senator Jean Breaux passed away. Throughout her tenure in the Statehouse, she was a strong supporter of Hoosiers affected by Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. 

April

We teamed up with Gdavis Productions and Films, LLC to bring the incredible play "Unforgettable" to the Circle City. This production raised awareness of the warning signs of dementia, the importance of clinical trials, and the resources available to help those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias.

The Alzheimer’s Association was again named to The Nonprofit Times Best Nonprofits to Work For list for the 14th year in a row! This year, the Alzheimer’s Association ranked #5 on the list of large nonprofits (more than 250 employees).

Our Hoosier advocates took Capitol Hill by storm during the ALZ Forum, meeting with members of congress and their staff to share their powerful stories.

June

For the third year in a row, we were a proud sponsor of the Indy Pride festival. Staff and volunteers provided attendees with information about the impact of the disease on the LGBTQ+ community and shared resources at MellowChella, a new wind down space for those participating in the festival.

July

FDA granted approval of Kisunla (domanemab) for the treatment of people living with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. We celebrated this approval as more options mean greater opportunity for more time. This marks the third approval of an Alzheimer’s treatment that changes the underlying course of the disease.

More than 12,000 of the brightest minds in dementia science convened in Philadelphia and online to share the latest research at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. A large topic of discussion at this year’s conference was the studies to improve both the diagnosis and the treatment of those suffering from Alzheimer’s.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center launched the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model on July 1, 2024, with 390 participating organizations building Dementia Care Programs (DCPs) that will improve the care and support of people living with dementia and their caregivers with Medicare nationwide.

Greater Indiana Chapter Board welcomed three new members at the start of the Fiscal Year, including Kimberly Grannan with Purdue University Fort Wayne, LaShelle Tipton with IU Health, and Adam Wright with Roche Diagnostics USA. We look forward to the insights and support this dynamic group of individuals will provide to the Alzheimer's Association Greater Indiana Board in years to come.

August

Indiana’s very own, Darlene Bradley, was named the Alzheimer’s Impact Movement August Advocate of the Month and shared her inspiring story to help others living with the disease. Darlene is also a member of the National Early-Stage Advisor Group where she continues to raise awareness around early-stage issues, advocate for change and build momentum toward our vision of a world without Alzheimer's.

Governor Holcomb held a ceremonial signing of SB 273, which ensures access to critical biomarker testing across Indiana. This bill marks a significant step forward in the work we are doing for early diagnosis and detection of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, but our work isn’t done.

September

The 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s season kicked off in Greater Indiana and continued through October. Walks were held in Bloomington, Columbus, East Central Indiana (Richmond), Fort Wayne, Greater Lafayette, Heartland (Muncie/Anderson), Indianapolis, Kokomo, Lake County, LaPorte County, Michiana, Porter County and Terre Haute. In all, 1,152 teams and 8,363 participants raised more than $2.5 million for the first time ever.

The Greater Indiana Chapter had the unique opportunity to make a special investment to support the expansion of the LEADS Study. Our investment allowed LEADS research to expand to five international sites, adding to its 18 data collection sites in the U.S..

The Roads and Transportation Committee voted unanimously to approve an Indiana END ALZ specialty license plate. Starting in Jan. 2025, this plate will help raise critical awareness of Alzheimer’s and all other dementia and funds collected through its purchase will ensure Hoosiers have access to the information, resources and support they need to navigate this disease.

October

In early October, we rounded out a successful Greater Indiana 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s event season with walks held in Bloomington, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, LaPorte County and Porter County.

The bipartisan NAPA Act and ALZ Investment Act were signed into law. These bills renew our nation's commitment to addressing Alzheimer's by supporting research and improving delivery of clinical care and services.

December

The BOLD Reauthorization Act was signed into law. This means state, local and tribal public health officials will continue having the resources they need to support those impacted by Alzheimer's and all other dementias in their communities.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year a success. If you’re interested in getting involved in the fight to end Alzheimer’s in 2025, visit alz.org/Indiana/volunteer and fill out our interest form.
