Georgia Memory Net (GMN) is funded by the Georgia Department of Human Services, and authorized by the Georgia General Assembly and Governor of Georgia. GMN is built on a foundation of close partnerships between the state, dementia experts at Emory University, and interdisciplinary memory assessment center teams, who help Georgians get accelerated and accurate diagnosis. GMN now runs Scan this code for Memory Assessment Clinics around the state. It’s the referral information. model that many states are now hoping to emulate. IN PARTNERS HIP WITH

Woodpeckers: The Hole Story Premieres Wed., Nov. 2, 8 PM

t’s November, and everyone knows that with Thanksgiving upon us, turkeys get all the fanfare. But, without ruffling any feathers, we wanted to spotlight another bird this month: the woodpecker.

NATURE: Woodpeckers: The Hole Story, goes deep into the woods to explore the lives of a unique avian family. Woodpeckers come in 239 species and live on every continent except Antarctica and Australia, playing a powerful role in every ecosystem they inhabit. They come in all shapes and sizes, each uniquely engineered for their particular lifestyles. Filmmaker Ann Johnson Prum (NATURE: Super Hummingbirds) discovers what makes these birds so special through the intimate stories of woodpecker families across the world.

gpb.org EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Black woodpeckers in Poland are elusive and have rarely been filmed. A pair of these large, imposing birds make a home in a beech tree, where they feed their hungry chicks. Acorn woodpeckers love to collect acorns and “tattoo” them into the holes they create in trees. The acorns are woodpecker gold – high in vitamins, minerals, fats and protein. Placing these acorns into trees helps this food last throughout the winter. Gila woodpeckers make their homes in cacti in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. After carving out the nest cavity in between the spines, the Gila must wait several months for the inner pulp to dry into a tough leathery casing before moving in.

Noteworthy Facts: •

Woodpeckers talk to each other by drumming. Each species taps out its own rhythm to stake out a territory and call for a mate.

•

Holes are the woodpeckers’ universal trademark. No matter where they live, every woodpecker makes a hole for a home.

GPB Programming Highlights As a supporter of GPB, you are vital to our mission of providing insightful, entertaining and educational programming to our audiences each year. Here’s an overview of some of the exciting, diverse content and initiatives we shared through our television, radio and digital platforms.

Television Filmmaker Ken Burns profiled a consequential American figure in Benjamin Franklin, the two-part film exploring his life and work, including the revolutionary changes in science, technology, literature, politics and government he helped to advance. In addition to the unparalled coverage of science and environmental topics through series including Nature and NOVA, PBS presented the five-part documentary series The Green Planet, with host Sir David Attenborough, which used pioneering filmmaking technology to make visible the amazing hidden life of plants. Additionally, America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston followed the New York Times bestselling author on a journey across the U.S. to examine how Americans interact with the outdoors.

According to a nationwide survey conducted in January of this year, PBS was named the most trusted media organization for the 19th year in a row, continuing to outscore government institutions and media sources— such as broadcast, cable, streaming and social media— in both value and trust, respectively.

MASTERPIECE brought classic drama with the second seasons of All Creatures Great and Small and Sanditon, based on the works of James Herriot and Jane Austen respectively. With Ridley Road, MASTERPIECE took viewers to the swinging streets of London in 1962 for the story of a young Jewish hairdresser who infiltrates the British neo-Nazi hierarchy. Inspired by true events, the series is based on Jo Bloom’s acclaimed novel. Closer to home, A Fork in the Road has explored how food and agricultural products are grown and made in Georgia. GPB’s Emmy-winning series Georgia Outdoors took viewers to an elephant sanctuary in southwest Georgia among the series’ many adventures, while View Finders gave viewers the chance to be inspired by Georgia’s beautiful landscapes and learn photography techniques. Dubbed as This Old House meets CSI, Home Diagnosis highlighted best practices for home improvement and high performance building.

Radio/News/Digital For the first time, NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest On The Road tour stopped in Atlanta, and GPB was there as Georgia artists including Alto Moon performed to an enthusiastic crowd. GPB Classical continued to expand its offerings with the addition of City Café, hosted by well-known Atlanta media personality John Lemley. GPB’s Sarah Zaslaw brought listeners performances from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra through The ASO on GPB and classical favorites through Serendipity. Political Rewind served as a place for thoughtful discussions around national, state and local issues. GPB News’ GA Today bi-weekly newsletter, which shares the headlines from around Georgia, expanded with the offering of another special bi-weekly edition, GA Today Politics Featuring Bill Nigut. GPB News also added Report for America corps member Sofi Gratas to our Macon Bureau. Gratas’ coverage includes public health and healthcare issues in Middle and South Georgia.

GPB Try Harder Screening.

GPB Donor Annual Report 2022

A Q&A session at the Ken Burns’ The U.S. And The Holocaust screening. We were happy to host educational and fun family-friendly events including Georgia Pollinator Day as part of the Atlanta Science Festival and the ever-popular Be My Neighbor Day event with Daniel Tiger! We realize the importance of understanding our collective history and the impact that has on our future. Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s beloved Finding Your Roots series laid the foundation for a series of online genealogy programs and workshops for audiences last winter. Audiences in Atlanta and Savannah gathered for public screening events featuring Ken Burns’ The U.S. and the Holocaust in collaboration with the Emory University Center for Ethics and other local partners. With a national spotlight on Georgia politics, GPB participated in several large initiatives focused on civic engagement and fostering civic dialogue. Individuals from across the state were paired with strangers for a recorded conversation through the StoryCorps One Small Step project, and questions about the election process submitted through America Amplified on GPB contributed to a national news series called Democracy from the Ground Up. We strive to entertain, to inspire, and to cultivate life-long learning opportunities for our neighbors and have been honored to do so through many other community partnerships including NAMI Georgia, Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Georgia Parent Support Network, Georgia Public Library Service, UGA Extension, Georgia Justice Project, and so many others.

Three Questions with Emory’s Dr. James Lah About Alzheimer’s Disease in Georgia

Dr. James Lah is the Director of Emory’s Cognitive Neurology Program, and is the Co-Director of Georgia Memory Net. As a renowned expert in the fields of neurology and dementia, we asked him about the state of Alzheimer’s disease in Georgia.

We know Alzheimer’s disease can lead to memory loss. What are other possible effects of the disease?

If I think I or a loved one might have Alzheimer’s, what should I do?

People may show the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in a unique way. While most experience memory difficulty, some have trouble with communication, organization, or processing visual information. Some have trouble recognizing their own limitations. Some patients may have sleep disturbances, irritability, paranoia, delusions, and even aggressive or violent behaviors.

Discuss your concern with your primary care provider. For those on Medicare, the free Annual Wellness Visit includes routine screening for memory loss and cognitive decline.

What’s on the horizon for the treatment of Alzheimer’s?

Georgia Memory Net (GMN) is a statewide program that makes diagnostic evaluation accessible to all Georgians, and supports families living with Alzheimer’s and related disorders. GMN can work with your primary care physician to provide diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and support services.

The first wave of “disease-modifying therapies” are on the horizon. These treatments will heighten the urgency of early diagnosis, as many are expected to be ineffective beyond the earliest stages of disease.

Sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Services. Managed by the Cognitive Neurology Program at Emory.
