AFF Presents: MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE BRAIN + Filmmaker Q&A

  • Albany Library, Edith Stone Room 1247 Marin Avenue Albany, CA, 94706 United States (map)

We’re celebrating Women’s History Month and Marian Diamond Day with this special screening of My Love Affair with the Brain. Stay after this engaging 57-minute documentary for a lively Q&A with filmmakers Gary Weimberg and Catherine Ryan, and Marian’s son Rick Diamond!

Marian Diamond’s groundbreaking scientific accomplishments are all the more remarkable because she began during an era when so few women entered science at all. In this film we meet the warm and thoroughly charming woman herself, who describes her 60+ year career researching the human brain as “pure joy.”
