I'm honored to be doing this event w/Dr. Bruce Miller, a brilliant #neurologist & dear friend. He took a chance on writing a #memoir w/me in honor of my father, who died of early-onset #Alzheimers. I will be grateful to Bruce forever.

We'll be reading from the #book on January 27, 2026 from 4:30 to 6 pm at #UCSF, answering questions, sharing knowledge (Bruce is an expert in #dementia, particularly #FTD) & experiences. If you are in the area & can come, please do.

#Neurologist Claudio Bassetti uses #smiling as an important part of communicating with his patients. 🙂
In the interview, he explains why #laughing is healthy and how it can even help to detect neurological disorders 👇

This very nice review of my #memoir w/ #neurologist Dr. BruceMiller just came to my attention. Here's a bit from the last paragraph: "This unlikely author team has Miller explain brain function in lay terms, while Weinstein shares her love of literature — a unique partnership of science & art. But despite its grim subject it’s not a downer, rather offering useful information to help fend off this dreaded disease.
