She identified a handful of themes this year that I think deserve more attention.

And one of the things that I was really very happy to see this year, there's a lot of interest in women's brain health and the role of menopause transition, reproductive factors, how this influences cognitive aging trajectories, and of course, Alzheimer's risk.

So I'm very thrilled to see, you know, there were quite a few sessions on this, really, I think, for the first time.

I think Latin Fingers, of course, is another really helpful addition, I think, in particular for me, because I think so often the Global South doesn't get enough attention.

And of course, there's a big burden of risk factors, so particularly in certain groups.

So I was really happy to see that.

And then finally, the other thing that I saw that was a bit new, I think, and important was the role of the exposome.

So what's next? I asked everyone I spoke to at this conference, what are you most excited about for the future? And this answer from Christine Jaffe stuck with me.
