Arizona Science Center has a brand-new series for adults – Spotlight on Science.

This series welcomes experts in different fields of science for an evening of discussion and education in topics that impact many people. Kicking off this new series, the Science Center, located downtown at 600 E. Washington St., places the spotlight on “Breakthroughs in Blood Biomarkers–Revolutionizing Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis” with Nicholas Ashton, PH. D, and expert in Alzheimer's disease.

The inaugural event starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 14. There will be a VIP reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. for those with a valid ticket. Ashton, the Banner Research Biomarker Program senior director, will discuss if a blood test can detect Alzheimer’s.

Throughout the evening, he will focus on his work as a leader in the development, validation, and use of fluid biomarkers, including cerebrospinal fluid and blood tests, in the fight against Alzheimer’s and related disorders.

Tickets range from a VIP experience for $75 to general admission for $40 to students for $20.
