Alex Weigand (she/her) is a 3rd year PhD student in clinical psychology studying biomarkers of preclinical Alzheimer's disease. She hopes to use her understanding of psychological concepts, her experience working with therapy patients, and her own experience with mental health difficulties to help educate others about mental wellness and reduce the stigma around mental health difficulties. She is also interested in science communication more broadly, and works with other organizations to create and disseminate content related to healthcare and neurologic conditions. Outside of this education and advocacy work, Alex enjoys trying local craft beers, collecting vinyl, and discovering new R tricks. Alex is based on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Kumeyaay, or Diegueño, also known as San Diego, California.
