I like to keep a nonfiction book in my purse so that I can pull it out if I find myself with a few minutes – waiting in line at the post office or the grocery store, or in a parking lot for carpool duties.  I don’t often get to read more than a few pages at time this way, but have found that this pace has enriched my enjoyment Read the Rest…

When I was on line this morning, self-selecting my news, as we all tend to do, I was immediately drawn to an interview with Barbara Strauch, the New York Times health editor about her book “The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind,” I haven’t had an opportunity to review the book and am interested to find out more about the studies she briefly discussed (but didn’t cite – so I will have to buy the book).

I did not grow up being a big science fan, but I now find the research in neuroscience to be incredibly exciting as we “lay people” can understand the simple concepts without having to be brain scientists.
