Ann O’Leary’05, executive director of the Berkeley Center on Health, Economic & Family Security, contributed a chapter and provided the academic anchor to the newly released “Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation Takes on Alzheimer’s.” Maria Shriver and the Alzheimer’s Association issued the report, which describes a major epidemic for which American women, government, business, and families are ill-prepared. On October 17, O’Leary joined Shriver on CNN’s This Week with Christiane Amanpour, kicking off a network-wide series on the scope, costs, and impact of Alzheimer’s. The next day, O’Leary spoke on the topic at a Center for American Progress panel in Washington, D.C.
