New paper out in PLoS One with @jenmacritchie, Roger Dean, and @KateStevArtsSci. Part of our ARC DP at @MARCSInstitute this looked at older adult musical sophistication over 12 months of training and 6 month follow up. Improvisation led to biggest gains: journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Wendy shared her life with dementia fearlessly with the public.
She gave voice to a section of the population that is often ignored or misunderstood.
We hope her family take comfort in the knowledge she changed people's perception on what living with dementia can be like.
We send our sincere condolences.
#dementia
This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective.
