Davidson Branch Library: The In-Person Book Club

April 2 @ 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Davidson Branch Library

Join us on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 2:00 pm for The In-Person Davidson Branch Book Club! This month we will be discussing Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. From the Publisher: “Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman’s place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America’s most beloved TV cooking show. Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the 1960s and despite the fact that she is a scientist, her peers are very unscientific when it comes to equality.”

DavidsonLearns Spotlight Event: Age-Related Cognitive Decline

April 3 @ 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Town Hall and Community Center (downstairs)

Does expertise insulate against age-related cognitive decline? What if mastering chess, or being an experienced typist or accountant, or flying a plane could protect you from cognitive decline? Research now suggests that some – but not all – areas of expertise may insulate people against particular areas of age-related cognitive decline. Dr. Kristi Multhaup, Vail Professor of Psychology at Davidson College, specializes in cognitive aging and memory. In this lecture, she will discuss which types of expertise appear to mitigate which types of age-related cognitive decline.
