“I wasn’t trying to buy tickets in the meeting,” he endured. “I was fully focussed on chairing & contributing to what was an inspiring session on brain health research and how Scotland, by the experts’ own words, is leading the world.”
Grey stated the panel dialogue used to be “in depth, insightful and inspiring” and he took it severely as he has handled Alzheimers and dementia in his personal people.
