Shining a Diamond Light on Alzheimer’s Disease with Karen Marchall

Today we are talking with Karen Marshall, who has been coming to Diamond to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease. The tools available at Diamond have enabled her to take a closer look at how specific molecules, called amyloids, form in conditions similar to the brain! Karen didn’t always want to be a scientist, but her journey kept bringing her back to research and back to Diamond! She shared her experiences with us, told us how research really gets done and identified the one skill you should learn!
