Thank you.
I'm so privileged to be here.
I really am looking forward to this interview.
Well, my father died when I was quite young, and my mother was in a very, very bad car accident.
She went through the passenger side window of the windshield, was thrown out of the car, and she was actually in a coma for six weeks.
So she was in a coma when my father died.
And she had a lot of bodily fractures, as you might imagine.
She was in a body cast.
But she also had a lot of cognitive damage and was essentially in and out of hospitals for a number of years.
So my grandparents raised me and my sister for most of my childhood.
And during that time, we spent, frankly, quite a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms and
Not spending time doing many of the typical activities of childhood.
He died of cancer.
I was three years old.
You know, it's interesting.
It's one of the things that actually got me interested in studying memory is I was very young.
And most people can't remember things that happened before they were about three or three and a half.
That's a very strong research finding.
When you ask adults to recall their earliest childhood memories, they almost never remember anything that happened before they were three.
But I have this unfortunate marker in my childhood.
