Welcome back to Inquiring Minds, where, after a brief hiatus, host Indre Viskontas returns with

yet another memorable episode, this time featuring Charan Ranganath, Director of the Memory

and Plasticity Program and a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of

California at Davis. Over his illustrious career, Dr. Ranganath has received innumerable

distinguished awards, edited major neuroscience journals, consulted for neuroscience research

funding agencies across the world, and has served on several review panels. In celebration of his

50th birthday, he has written a book for the masses, Why We Remember, which examines ‘the

powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives’, and which also provides the

springboard for today’s lively discussion about the fascinating journey of memory in the human

experience. Be sure to download and enjoy this highly anticipated return of Indre’s Inquiring

Minds, and revel in the unforgettable insights into memory's intricate interplay with cognition

and society offered here today, courtesy of these two giants in the field.
