fairy tales on vinyl


I was invited by Dr. Simon Fischer-Baum, a cognitive psychologist at Rice University, to speak to his Memory class at Rice next week. The topic:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of my favorite movies for several reasons. This will be a reprise of the talk I gave two years ago at 14 Pews for their Science on the Screen series. I've read a lot about the brain and memory since then, so I'm eager to watch the movie again, from this new perspective, as I pull my thoughts together. And definitely I'll be getting my props ready.
