Driving home on S.R. 70, I encountered something scary that left me shaking.
I didn t know where I was.
For a long two seconds, I didn t know if I was headed east or west, or if I was headed to work, home or an assignment. Why was Walmart on my right or why was Lena Road to my left?
I shook my head side to side, squinted a bit, tried to refocus.
What the heck was wrong with me?
Fortunately, not much.
Best-selling author Lisa Genova, a neuroscientist who has a doctorate from Harvard, was kind enough to grant me an interview May 10 from her Cape Cod home in Massachusetts. Genova, whose 2007 novel Still Alice led to a movie of the same name that in turn earned a Best Actress Oscar for Julianne Moore in 2015, is speaking at a special hybrid fundraiser (via Zoom from Cape Cod) May 18 in support of the Brian Health Scholars program.
