Meehan Crist is the Writer in Residence in Biological Sciences at Columbia University, and she's working on a book about traumatic brain injury. Her obsession with the topic started close to home, when her mother suffered a concussion and began forgetting things -- all kinds of things: where she was driving, how to read.
But Crist didn't know this as a child; her mother hid what was going on, and Crist was an adult before she broke family taboo by asking about the injury. "All of a sudden my memory of who she was didn't match up with her memory of who she was. And I had this feeling that maybe I didn't know her at all," Crist says.
Recorded November 29, 2012 at the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space in New York City, in collaboration with The Story Collider.
