Let me take a break from book self-promotion and instead promote this brilliant piece (and forthcoming book!) about secrets, scandal, and sperm donation in Canada by my brave and ultra-talented wife @veevcoopersmith! https://t.co/9ghrrCgBRi
“Well, little brother, have you finished?”
These were the first words Dr. Wilder Penfield’s sister spoke upon waking from the brutal brain surgery Penfield performed on her. @ericandrewgee revisits the remarkable medical moment: https://t.co/UxsRyRpd9p
He was arrested, lost his job and fought for two years to clear his name. Then a ‘deeply flawed’ police investigation fell apart in court. Read my first piece for the @TorontoStar here: https://t.co/nLY1QSxSBt
“Few failed to notice that the former handed off most of the surgery to the latter.”
Inside the June issue: @CharlotteJGray on @ericandrewgee’s “The Mind Mappers,” a history of the founding partners behind the Montreal Neurological Institute.

Thanks to the @ChamplainSoc and Nicole O'Byrne for this great conversation about The Mind Mappers, my book -- hitting shelves tomorrow! -- about the golden age of neuroscience in Montreal and the rich, tortured friendship behind it. https://t.co/pp0210ojto
@AlexanderGWeil@globeandmail Thanks Alexander! I’ll be in conversation with legendary Dr. Richard Leblanc at the Osler Library Tuesday at 3pm if you happen to be free then.
The Mind Mappers hits shelves on Tuesday! For the @globeandmail I wrote about how the golden age of neuroscience in Montreal was globally important but also an only-in-Canada success story. https://t.co/2jxprKgQzq.
Some Montreal book launch news! Come celebrate (or at least watch me celebrate) the publication of The Mind Mappers at De Stiil Books on May 29. I'll be in conversation with the brilliant Walrus editor @cstarnino.
The book I've been working on for the last four years is finally hitting shelves on May 27, and the first launch is that day at the Osler Library, where I did so much of my research. If you're in Montreal, come get an autographed copy! 😉https://t.co/Q1c5xjhx1y
