It's #SmallPressMonth. I looked up how one defines that and it seems to mean a publisher making 50 million dollars or less a year. I'm pretty sure @HopkinsPress qualifies, so do check out their list and see if there's something you'd like to buy! #litstudies, #medhum

I'll be at the #Boulderbookstore in April talking about #FindingtheRightWords, written with #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller. Here's the information! #medhum

So honored to see #FindingtheRightWords, the #book I wrote with the extraordinary #neurologist and my dear friend Dr. Bruce Miller of #UCSF, on #TheDoctor'sBookshelf of "Books every doctor should read." Looking forward to reading the review! #medhum. #EndAlz https://thedoctorsbookshelf.com/2023/02/11/the-most-incredibly-moving-patient-memoirs-about-the-brain/

Good article on the language health care providers use, especially good for those who have been told their pregnancy was “geriatric” or their uterus “hostile.” #medhum https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/01/geriatric-pregnancy-old-outdated-medical-terms/672834/

#ADRCs (there are 33 Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers in the US) do amazing scientific and clinical work. Many have extraordinary outreach programs. #neurologist Bruce Miller of #UCSF and I have had a chance to talk about our #litstudies and #medhum collaboration with #UWisconsin. Most recently we spoke at #UMich. Here is a youtube link to our presentation. We talked about #stigma, representations of #dementia, #empathy, #grief, #caregiving, et al. #EndAlz.

#FindingtheRightWords: A Study of #Literature, #Grief, and the #Brain is a memoir about my father's #dementia that I wrote with #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF. Here is a review, which I want to share with #caregivers, families dealing with #dementia, especially #Alzheimer's, the #medhum community, and #neurologists and #doctors interested in the field of #narrativemedicine and the potential power of combining #art and #science, #litstudies and #neuroscience.

@aetiology I’ve seen #MedHum more than #MedHumanities

@ct_bergstrom. Thank you for this excellent essay. I found #COVID threads by @WesElyMD especially valuable. Through the bird app, I also "met him," which was a thrill. Because of my interest in #medhum, #narrativemedicine, and #dementia, especially #Alzheimers, I'm trying to reconnect with some of the #doctors, #caregivers, and people with #dementia whom I was following. And of course, am finding new people to follow.

@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.

Let's give this a whirl!

@litstudies friends. It's #UniversityPressWeek. @Lithub recommends these: https://lithub.com/this-years-university-press-week-highlights-work-on-race-religion-war-and-more/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Lit%20Hub%20Daily:%20November%2014%2C%202022&utm_term=lithub_master_list.

My recent #memoir, actually dual memoir, w/#BruceMiller of #UCSF was published by #JohnsHopkinsUP. They were great to work with, as have the other #Universitypresses with whom I've had the good fortune to work. Here's a link to my #medhum memoir about my father's #Alzheimers. I describe his disease from the perspective of a daughter/English prof; Bruce from the perspective of son/neurologist.
