The Art And Science Of Staving Off Cognitive Decline
Dr. Marilyn Albert, Johns Hopkins neurologist who studies cognitive aging, and Jake Brasch, playwright and performer behind the semi-autobiographical play The Reservoir. They explore cognitive reserve, mixing science with theater, a 20-year study showing training can cut dementia risk, the mechanics of speed-of-processing exercises, and how art frames heavy topics with humor.
