Thanks to Quantu Project guest speakers elite fitness trainer & firefighter Chris Xanders and neuropsychologist Dr. David Gonzalez of UT-Health and the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases who presented engaging talks on exercise tips and the newest research on lifestyle factors affecting cognitive health, respectively. Thanks also to Ballistic Crossfit owner Aaron Bielefeldt who shared his perspective on improving fitness during the Q & A. Quantu Project team members and bioengineers Erin Pollet and Sean Tritley presented on tips for using fitness trackers. Bioengineers Keith Kern and Dr. Amina Ann Qutub introduced the speakers, and Dr. Byron Long led new volunteer enrollment.
An audience of ~70 people joined the first Quantu Project workshop, and we'll send slides and a quick feedback survey by email to all registered attendees and volunteers.
Thanks again to the speakers, to all the Quantu Project team members who helped organize, current Quantu Project volunteers, new volunteers and friends who joined us this Saturday!
Thanks for the feedback, Sadie! Great to hear you found the workshop and Dr. Gonzalez's presentation valulable.
We sent out a newsletter email today that included a link to Dr. David Gonzalez's presentation slides for his talk, "Lifestyle Strategies to Maintain Brain Health" to all Quantu Project volunteers and prospective volunteers who signed up through the Quantu Project online.
Thanks also for the kind comment - likely Quantu Project team members and bioengineers Sean Tritley and/or Keith Kern were helping you during volunteer enrollment!
We are very grateful for your contribution as a new volunteer to the Quantu Project.
Best regards, The Quantu Project Team
Learned so much from Dr. Gonzalez. Anxious to go thought his slides.
Appreciated the extreme patience of the young man who helped me during the Fitbit orientation.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Rudy! We were happy to see you Saturday, and grateful for your contribution as a volunteer to the Quantu Project. Yes, we'll make sure to have a microphone ready the next time we host a workshop.
Sean Tritley is the bioengineer, airforce veteran, and Quantu Project team member who shared Fitbit tips along with Erin Pollet, and we agree, Sean is a great help! Thanks for sharing, too.
Best regards, The Quantu Project Team
Great workshop and speakers with a great overview of QUANTU and degenerative diseases.
Staff is top notch. Location was perfect although speakers voices were difficult to hear. May I suggest a microphone for those with hearing impairment? Young man who spoke on FITBIT was quite helpful.
Thanks for the great feedback, Quinton! We're glad you came Saturday and grateful for your contribution as a volunteer for the Quantu Project. We'll be sure to keep you updated on upcoming events.
Best regards, The Quantu Project Team
