What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe South China Morning Post has published the hundredth instalment in its series on dementia, this time looking at what care around the world teaches us about dignity, community and avoiding burnout.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA hundred instalments. That is a hundred planning meetings, and I'd wager somebody brought lukewarm pastries to every single one.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe series covers research into the causes and treatment, advice for carers, and stories of hope.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWhich is exactly why this deserves team coverage. Three desks, a countdown clock, and a live map of the whole archive.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA map of the archive.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody's read all hundred. I'd say there's a reader out there somewhere on instalment forty-one, still looking for the way back to the front page.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's the one piece of this I'd actually recommend clicking, though. The carer advice, I mean.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFair. Though instalment one hundred and one is going to need a bigger filing cabinet.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale, it's a link on a website. You can't get lost in it.
