Whitehouse, Case Western Reserve University, coauthor of The Myth of Alzheimer's "With her big ideas and sharp criticism, Anne Basting is a vital part of the Alzheimer's community. I don't always agree with her, but I'm sure glad she's a part of this important conversation." - David Shenk, author of The Forgetting"
