- Who you are matters for Alzheimer's research and clinical trials, because the treatments and medications we develop don't work for everybody equally. Renã A. S. Robinson is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Vanderbilt University and the inaugural Dorothy J. Wingfield Phillips Chancellor’s Faculty Fellow. Dr. Robinson received her B.S. in Chemistry with a concentration in Business from the University of Louisville in 2000 and her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Indiana University.
She is one of the newest faculty members of the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center. Her passion for helping those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and understanding health disparities is manifested in her former role as Associate Director of the Outreach, Recruitment and Education Core of the University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer’s Disease Center in 2017. Dr. Robinson and her research team are actively engaged in Alzheimer’s disease outreach and awareness activities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Wokeism has reached a new low...
Whait a few months
We need *competency*, not diversity.
Do you know what a clinical trial is or how it works??
How revealing, that you seem to see them as mutually exclusive.
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles I think ama "woke" person you would be referring to; however, science needs diversity. Men,women and different ethnic groups.
Why Not Diversity ?

@@TheRyzenfall please enlighten. I think I do, but always happy to learn.
Oh FFS ....competency, not diversity.
Competency cares not about your skin color
Do you know what a clinical trial is or how it works??
Today I learned that you:
1.Can identify as you feel like in terms of age.
2.Can identify as you feel like in terms of race.
3.Apperantly race, that does not exist plays a part in persons biology and genetically prone diseases.
In all honesty, the fact that these people get an audience is astounding, it's like listening to empty headed race baiters.
Awesome!!
But we would like to have *competency* instead of diversity
I WANT THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST MINDS….NOT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Do you know what a clinical trial is or how it works??
@@paigeb1318 You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
lol “diversity”
not of opinion, obviously.

TedX is not what it used to be...
My greatest happiness is the $64,000 bi-weekly profit I get consistently from my $15,000 investment despite the economic fluctuation 😊
It was a very awesome transformation, No greater joy than seeing my progress in an initial decision..
Oh please, how can someone get to speak with Mrs Charlotte Junko Walsh !!?

One cause could be higher cardiovascular disease in African americans. That means health wise a stricter control on weight and related obesity and health problems. That is strictly down to each individual. Not the state, not friends or family. But the responsibility towards ones self.
Also to understand all nationalities can suffer this progressive disease and science is constantly working on a preventative easing of the problem. Therefore their work is global not insular, and bypassing certain groups. So everyone needs to put their hands in their pockets and give generously. Not see a slight when there is none.
Exactly what alzheimer's sufferers were asking for! genius!
Give it a bloody break ffs!
" لا تدمن التفكير لأن الله ولىُّ التدبير ، ولا تقلق من المجهول وكل شىء عند الله معلوم ، طمئن قلبك المؤمن فأنت فى عين الله الحفيظ الذى عطاياه لا تمنعها السدود 💛 ".
Clinical trials used to only be done on white men and we were all expected to experience the same symptoms, reactions, recovery as them. As an example, women experience heart attacks much differently than men. Studies have slowly begun to add women to see if what the physiological differences are. They need to add all minorities to better understand not only how certain diseases work but how they act/react in different communities.
Getting a diverse segment of people in clinical studies is not discrimination, not having a diverse segment of people is discrimination. For those saying you want competency over diversity, well you can have one without the other.
Do it yourself then. Are you demanding white men do this for you?
🤣
Is there a teleprompter to her right of the stage?
Now this has to be a joke, right?
🌿🌎🌴 *Each of us has a role*
to play in protecting our planet 🌍🌏
Why?
Building trust is a relevant concern but I was also waiting for her to provide a solution to the not enough time , not enough money conundrum that she brought up earlier .like provide monetary incentives , free transportation and childcare and conduct the research outside of working hours !
Exactly what alzheimer's sufferers were asking for! genius!

@Sara Stevens Please how can I reach out to Mr George Armstrong ? I urgently need his management on my INVESTMENTS !
@Sara Stevens THANKS A LOT I HAVE CONTACTED HIM NOW AND HE'S RESPONDED
Scammer!!!

Are people really objecting to the notion that the disease should be studied in greater numbers among the populations most likely to suffer from it?
Ikr, the majority of the comment section is kinda buggin me.
Hello my people
A very good video
We don't need diversity.onley we need All are the Same❤️💯
I think a big problem in American society is, most family households send their old people into old forks homes instead of keeping them at home where they can be cared for by family
Wait a minute so biological factors ARE relevant in outcomes? Weird
Look
Uhmm uhhh
Check out the long term research being done in Wisconsin. They are inclusive
Skill and competency are what's needed - not diVeRSiTy
you annoy
thank you!
The main point of this video is to get more African American participants included in Alzheimer’s Disease research, since it effects this community in higher rates but still has a lesser amount of research done on this group. Don’t really know why so many of the comments are either so disjointed or so pressed, maybe it’s just cause the video’s fairly new?
No, it’s not the main point at all, as far as
I can see. It’s just more ‘critical theory’ from the gender studies department (or some similar nonsense). I will oppose this and every sensible person should.

I think Africa needs more diversity. There are too few white people. None of the African countries has a white man or woman in government. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.
Is TEDx becoming woke? If so, i'm done with it
That's irony?
So isn't this kinda flying over the concept of "races are just social constructs" ?
