Welcome back to Inquiring Minds, where, after a brief hiatus, host Indre Viskontas returns with
yet another memorable episode, this time featuring Charan Ranganath, Director of the Memory
and Plasticity Program and a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of
California at Davis. Over his illustrious career, Dr. Ranganath has received innumerable
distinguished awards, edited major neuroscience journals, consulted for neuroscience research
funding agencies across the world, and has served on several review panels. In celebration of his
50th birthday, he has written a book for the masses, Why We Remember, which examines ‘the
powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives’, and which also provides the
springboard for today’s lively discussion about the fascinating journey of memory in the human
experience. Be sure to download and enjoy this highly anticipated return of Indre’s Inquiring
Minds, and revel in the unforgettable insights into memory's intricate interplay with cognition
and society offered here today, courtesy of these two giants in the field.
