February Narrative Medicine Rounds with Dr. Sandeep Jauhar

"My Father's Brain," a talk by Dr. Sandeep Jauhar

Four our first Rounds of the 2024 Spring semester, we are thrilled to welcome back best-selling author and cardiologist Dr. Sandeep Jauhar, who will speak to us about his latest book, "MY FATHER'S BRAIN," a memoir of his relationship with his father as he succumbed to dementia. In the book, Jauhar sets his father's descent into Alzheimer's alongside his own journey toward understanding his father's disease. "MY FATHER'S BRAIN," named a best book of 2023 by The New Yorker and is a Smithsonian top ten science book of 2023, is deeply affecting memoir and a revelatory inquiry into why the human brain degenerates with age and what we can do about it.  Sand Jauhar has written several bestselling books, all published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.  Dr. Jauhar will be in conversation with Dr. James Noble, a neurologist at Columbia Irving Medical Center and a recognized neurologic educator at Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons, who himself has recently published a book about dementia for caregivers: "NAVIGATING LIFE WITH DEMENTIA", published by Oxford University Press.
