So fun to read about how the Beckman Institute shaped @StephenMaren's career when he started as an undergrad.

So glad to have you back at Beckman, Steve!

What if traumatic memories could be erased?

In a Q&A, Beckman Director Steve Maren (@StephenMaren) reflects on his cinematic start to science, explains his fascination with the amygdala and explores on emotional memories both personal and scientific. 💬

"As a former singer, I know how important the voice is. Shortly after my #Parkinson's diagnosis, I started having speech difficulties."

Recently, #ILLINOIS alumnus Ethan Henderson participated in the university-led Speech Accessibility Project. ➡ https://t.co/g8BCB4OtA7

I've baked my last dish for @news_gazette after about 12 years of writing. (For the record, these S'mores bars aren't baked, plus they're both easy and delicious.) So grateful to have had this experience and excited to be moving on.
