Water experts are holding an event this morning to keep up with the state of Southwest Florida’s water.
The Calusa Waterkeeper says the main presentation will look at how algal toxins may play a role in brain health. The discussion will go as far as examining how algal toxins relate to neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease.
The featured speaker is Dr. David Davis of the University of Miami Brain Endowment Bank. According to the event’s flyer, his talk will focus on current research into algal toxins, harmful blooms and possible links to dementia, an issue that many families are familiar with in Southwest Florida.
