Happy birthday to #neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934), here in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings! Cajal &Golgi won the Nobel in 1906, “in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system”. He was as much of an artist as he was a scientist & his 100s of drawings are still used for teaching purposes.

OMG! It's so freaking enjoyable to #edit a #journal article for a highly experienced, funny-as-hell #neurologist as I listen to Mozart, see sun shining in, and feel the spring breeze coming in. I think I wanna do this when I grow up!
Oh, wait—I *am* doing this as a grown-up!
Thank you to the #Penn Memory Center for hosting #AgeofAging & this episode on ambiguous loss.

W/gratitude to the #PennMemoryCenter and, as always, to #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller of #UCSF's #MemoryandAgingCenter for writing w/me our dual #memoir, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, & the# Brain.

I did this podcast -- Resilient Aging -- about my father's #dementia (early-onset #Alzheimers) with #neurologist, #psychologist Dr. Dani Cabral, and it was released today. If you have a few minutes and can take a listen, please do. And if you do, I hope you find it helpful.
