Following is a part of an email sent by OUHSC officer to the Director of our research center.
"Dr. Yamada’s research on Alzheimer’s will be featured in the University of Oklahoma “Inside Sooner Magic” video newsletter next week. This video newsletter is distributed to all OU and OUHSC employees – and serves to highlight the interesting things going on at the University.
The OU Public Affairs team will interview him in his lab on Thursday at 10 am – and I or another member of our Media team will be escorting the camera crew and assisting Dr. Yamada with the interview.
Please let me know if you have any concerns – and we are excited to highlight this great research!"
Yup I got an interview on our recent work on Alzheimer's.
The camera crew and the OUHSC officer as interviewer showed up in the lab this morning. Wearing business suits, I stood in front of the camera about 1.5 foot away, looking at the interviewer, and answered questions. The interview took about 15 min, followed by additional photo and video taking in the lab in the lab coat.
There were two lab people happened to be working at the time there. We got the "working photo", too. [wink wink]
The materials will be edited to about 1-2 minutes video (nobody want to watch video over 2 minutes these days, anyway. ..unless it is cats video).
So the questions were simple, something like "Introduce yourself. ...your personal experience with Alzheimer? ....the current state of Alzheimer research and practice? ...about your research,..what's new? ..What is your hope for the research?"
It was an interesting occasion. Now I wait for the completed video somewhat anxiously, hoping for the best.
