The latest edition of InSight news magazine — your guide to the people, research, and programs at the Penn Memory Center — is hot off the press and sporting a new look.
With a lead story on photo elicitation project “Typical Day,” we redesigned our cover to better display the artwork of photographer Damari McBride, who worked with the Penn Memory Center on the project.
A dozen participants with mild cognitive impairment were asked to capture a typical day through a series of photographs of the people, places, and things that have an impact on their lives. Their snapshots, stories, and portraits taken by McBride are on display at www.mytypicalday.org and in a temporary exhibit at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine.
Fall 2016/Winter 2017

- The Caring Difference: The Penn Memory Center has expanded offerings (including Music Therapy and two new Cognitive Fitness programs) for patients and their caregivers and families, thanks to a generous gift from the Julius H. Caplan Charity Foundation.
- A Closer Look At Our Research: A new series in InSight is a set of features on research taking place at the Penn Memory Center. In this edition, we break down the new Biogen and Generation studies, as well as a unique public health communications study organized by PMC researchers.
