Caroline Prioleau

Caroline Prioleau writes and designs content for the Memory and Aging Center and the Global Brain Health Institute. She started her training in science and medicine but transitioned to graphic design and communications after seeing how medical jargon could isolate those who needed information most. She believes that design and curiosity can make scientific knowledge more accessible to those who may not have a background in science. She also co-leads the oral history project, hear/say, that focuses on collecting personal stories about the experience of aging, dementia, and caregiving to help shift how we think about aging. Her professional background includes experience in basic science, clinical research, qualitative research, technology, writing, editing, graphic design, and information design. Caroline joined the Memory and Aging Center in 2007.
