Carolina Science Cafe: Dementia Diagnosis and Treatment
2026-06-02 18:00 - 19:00 | Haw River Tap & Table, 300 E Main St C, Carrboro, NC, 27510, United States
Recent Advances in Dementia Diagnosis and Treatment

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s? I have 2 family members with Alzheimer’s. What’s my risk like? I hear there’s a new blood test that can tell me if I have it; should I get it? How good is it? And, what’s the scoop on those new drugs to slow down Alzheimer’s? In June’s Carolina Science Cafe, Dr. Andrea Bozoki will answer these questions and more as she reviews some key concepts, explains how specialists approach the evaluation of cognitive decline, and describes the pros and cons of available treatment options.

Designed for adults, Carolina Science Cafe is a free program that explores science topics making national and international headlines, offering the chance to meet the experts behind the work. This special program is hosted at Haw River Tap & Table in Carrboro on the first Tuesday of every month. Light appetizers are available for all attendees.
