  2. H4JUL26 is the discount code for the John Hopkins University Press July 4th sale -- now until July 8th. W/a purchase of $75, you also get free shipping.

    I am a big fan of the Hopkins #literature list (great books on #Poe, for ex.) & the health & wellness list. Re: that last, please consider purchasing my #memoir, Finding The Right Words: A Story of Literature, #Grief, & the Brain. Readers, #caregivers, people who know people w/#dementia have found it helpful.

  4. Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 104: Infant Food Security

    Whether you #breastfeed, feed with #babyformula, or do both, securing sustenance for newborns can be fraught. #Infant and #caregiver #foodsecurity is a multi-layered, multi-experiential reality, in the past and present. What will its future hold?

    This episode features Lesley Frank on the “first food systems” of infant feeding, Natalia Alaniz-Salinas responding to Lesley’s article, “Finding Formula” (Vol. 5 No. 1 of CFS), and Alexia Moyer on the history of milk, including its price, positioning, and propaganda. Drink up!

  5. #HFCCareCon2025 is this Friday, 12-3 pm PT; 3-6pm ET. It's going to be helpful, thoughtful, authentic, & even funny (at times). I am honored to be on the panel, "End of Life but not the End of Love." I am also so grateful to #LaurenMillerRogen and #SethRogen for sharing their story (watch their documentary about Lauren's mother, Adele, #TakingCare) & using their power to help #caregivers & to educate the public about the facts of #dementia. The event is free.

  7. #BruceMiller and I wrote #FindingtheRightWords for people with #dementia, their #caregivers, their loved ones, their #nurses and #doctors, including #neurologists, #geriatricians, and #psychiatrists. #narrative medicine cannot cure #Alzheimer's, but the power of #empathy, intense #listening, and #storytelling can help immensely. We are so grateful this reader thinks our book is helpful, even beautiful.💜

  8. @jfballenger. Dear Jesse, I'm a fan of your book on #Alzeimers and look forward to reading the next one on #dementia. In the meantime, I'm hoping to find others (#authors, people interested in #medhum, #neurologists, #neuropsychologists, #geriatricians, #caregivers, people with #dementia) to follow. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
