Bestselling author and neuroscientist Lisa Genova will present “How Art and Science Collaborate in Illuminating What It Is Like to Live With Alzheimer’s Disease” on November 2 at 7 p.m. in Gasson Hall, room 100. Genova, who holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Harvard University, is the author of the novels Still Alice, Left Neglected, Love Anthony, Inside the O’Briens and Every Note Played, and the non-fiction book, Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting. Her extensively researched novels focus on people living with neurological diseases and disorders. Through her fiction, she describes with passion and accuracy the journeys of those affected by brain diseases and conditions, thereby educating, demystifying, destigmatizing, and inspiring. Still Alice, her novel about a woman living with Alzheimer’s, was adapted into a film starring Julianne Moore, who won an Academy Award for her performance. Genova has appeared on Today, CNN, PBS NewsHour, and NPR, among other media outlets. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including The Pell Center Prize for Story in the Public Square, Sargent and Eunice Shriver Profiles in Dignity Award, American College of Neuropsychopharmacology Media Award, and Alzheimer’s Association’s Rita Hayworth Award. Her talk is presented by the Park Street Corporation Speaker Series and is co-sponsored by the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society.
