It's hard to believe that the #memoir I wrote with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller turns 2 next month. In the hopes of sharing our experience and knowledge, we have been doing outreach at #ADRCs (Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers), podcasts (#Nocturnists, #Dementia Matters, et al), and presentations at #senior residences. Shortly after the book came out, #JohnsHopkinsUniversityPress invited us to talk about why we wrote the book. Here's what we said: https://www.press.jhu.edu/newsroom/finding-right-words-story-literature-grief-and-brain

#ADRCs (there are 33 Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers in the US) do amazing scientific and clinical work. Many have extraordinary outreach programs. #neurologist Bruce Miller of #UCSF and I have had a chance to talk about our #litstudies and #medhum collaboration with #UWisconsin. Most recently we spoke at #UMich. Here is a youtube link to our presentation. We talked about #stigma, representations of #dementia, #empathy, #grief, #caregiving, et al. #EndAlz.

Hi friends. It's #Alzheimer's Awareness Month, and in addition to doing events at #ADRCs (Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers) -- #USC and #UMich -- I'm posting reviews of #FindingtheRightWords. Thank you so much, dear Susie of #LoveConquersAlz and #MyMomandtheGirl, for writing these beautiful words about the book I wrote with #neurologist #BruceMiller of #UCSF.
