💡 TED Talks 🎓 @ Your Library

The Library and Lanark Highlands Plan B are proud to announce the return of the TED Talks program – this time, in person! TED Talks are brief thought-provoking and relevant talks by experts that are designed to educate and inspire.

Our topic for the day is

How your memory works — and why forgetting is totally OK by Lisa Genova.

Have you ever misplaced something you were just holding? Completely blanked on a famous actor’s name? Walked into a room and immediately forgot why? Neuroscientist Lisa Genova digs into two types of memory failures we regularly experience — and reassures us that forgetting is totally normal. Stay tuned for a conversation with TED science curator David Biello, where Genova describes the difference between common moments of forgetting and possible signs of Alzheimer’s, debunks a widespread myth about brain capacity and shares what you can do to keep your brain healthy and your memory sharp.
