Can a dinner bring back memories for people experiencing cognitive decline? Can our taste buds revitalize our past? Join us to uncover how food creates joy and novelty for older adults with memory impairment.

In this talk, you'll hear from Jake Broder, an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health (2022), playwright, and actor, and Virginia Sturm, GBHI faculty member and the John Douglas French Alzheimer’s Foundation Endowed Professor at UCSF as they explore the powerful connection between food and memory. The event will be moderated by food writer, Alix Wall. Discover how food might help improve the quality of life for people with dementia or cognitive impairments.

We are working on making this event hybrid and available live to people who cannot be in person. If we can't stream the event, we plan to record it and share the recording after the fact. Please register for the event so that we can keep you in the loop about how to tune in digitally.
