Added to the popular Colloquium Series :
Luca Zanchi – reflections on the pedagogy of myth that his current CLL 215 seminar explores.

Imagine finding a glimmer of good news in a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Gayatri Devi, Neurologist specializing in dementia and memory loss for more than 20 years, rewrites the story of Alzheimer’s by defining it as a spectrum disorder—like autism, Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects different people differently.
