I am honored to be presenting my work on #FindingtheRightWords in UCLA's Americanist Research Colloquium. I wrote this #memoir w/#neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's. He became ill when I was a #graduate student in the #Berkeley#English dept. so speaking about this to grad students (& faculty) in the English dept.@ #UCLA is especially meaningful. I'll share what I know now about #dementia & #grief & what I wish I knew then.

Last month, I had the honor of speaking at Hawai'i's Behavioral Health #ECHO event. Here is a link to our discussion of the memoir I wrote with #UCSF#neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller, #Finding the Right Words. We talked about #caregiving, #grief, the power of precision #diagnosis, and the value of #narrativemedicine.
