My apologies for causing confusion, sister Dianne. I figured there would be some pain whenever I got around to changing the handle, so decided there was no time like the present. Hopefully everyone in my Bluesky family still finds me. bsky.app/profile/wolv...

I'm still me. Please keep finding me at the new handle: @wolverinebear.bsky.social (which replaces @leadcoalition).

The handle has changed, but hopefully you'll find me to be the same person: lots of posts about health and science (especially Alzheimer's and other diseases that cause dementia) along with social justice, occasional attempts at humor, and abundant love for our Bluesky family. Tikkun Olam.

My dad had his first architecture faculty position there in the 60s. Ever since I was an undergrad in the 80s, I've thought of WashU as the happiest place on earth.

Updated my handle to @wolverinebear.bsky.social, an homage to the formative experiences begun at WashU and Michigan Law. Met my better half, Wendy, at WashU. We headed to Ann Arbor right after getting married. Wendy opened the door to my career working on Alzheimer’s. Love and purpose. Tikkun Olam.

We don't always see depression's full impact on people living with dementia and their carers.
