Dementia in War Refugees
|
|
In the final episode of Season 4 of our Unfold podcast, we explore the research into the dementia that is starting to appear among the Southeast Asian refugees and immigrants who resettled in the U.S. after the fall of Saigon in 1975, and whether the trauma they experienced in the Vietnam War or its aftermath puts them more at risk.

Food, Toys, Coats, Sweaters
|
|
The Holiday Food Drive is for students (who, by the way, also need other essentials). One toy drive is for Yolo County children and another is for UC Davis Children’s Hospital. And the coats and sweaters (and other essentials for pets) are for the dog and cat companions of people experiencing homelessness. See how you can help.
