The RCMAR National Coordinating Center presents Red Hot Research, which uses the Pecha Kucha-style format for scientists to share their research through storytelling. Red Hot Research events will each feature 5 presentations from RCMAR Scientists (current and alumni), RCMAR NCC MSI Fellows, and RCMAR Centers. Presentations are limited to ~6 and a half minutes and each will have ~5 minutes allotted for Q&A.
Each session of Red Hot Research will focus on a particular theme related to the latest research findings on aging, AD/ADRD, and/or health disparities in older adults. Presentations will consist of a slide show of 20 images, with 20 seconds spent per slide. Each presenter has 400 seconds to tell their story with visuals (no words or numbers on slides) to guide the way! Red Hot Research encourages scientists to keep their presentations concise and dynamic.
