Congratulations to Emily MacDonald on receiving one of the Brain Health Care Master Trainee Scholarships from the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) Training Program, a prestigious award that supports research on brain health and care for aging populations living with cognitive impairment. Under the supervision of Professors Myles O’Brien (Faculté de médecine et des sciences de la santé – Université de Sherbrooke) and Olga Theou (Dalhousie University), her master’s project addresses a key public health issue: the role of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the relationship between frailty and cognitive health among older adults, both in community settings and long-term care. By exploring how movement influences physical and cognitive outcomes, Emily aims to identify practical strategies to promote healthy aging and mitigate the effects of cognitive decline. Well done, Emily, on this well-deserved recognition!
