Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting

FREE and RECORDED. Times listed are Pacific Time.

This Wellness Wednesday is a fascinating exploration of how we remember, why we forget, and what we can do to protect our memories with Dr. Lisa Genova, the Harvard-trained neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Alice. We will also discuss how memory changes as a part of normal aging and how this differs from dementia. Walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of your memory.
