It's so much work to get tenure, it's hard to imagine that more than a tiny minority of people would somehow make it through that incredibly arduous process and then decide to flake out on their whole career,

Anytime you encourage critical thinking you risk offending somebody, ... ... I think the basic idea of tenure is to shelter people from political ups and downs.

When you take a person with dementia and you put them in a car and drive them for four hours to come for an appointment, they're not really at their best when you assess them. Some people get more confused or even a bit agitated,

What we're trying to do is to see whether telehealth is an appropriate way to follow patients with dementia, ... The thing about dementia is once you've seen the patient and examined the patient neurologically, most of the followup is examining mental status, which we can do over telehealth. Talking to the patient and the family on how things are going and making some changes or suggestions, be it modifications in the environment or medication treatment for some of the behaviours?that works well over telehealth.
