Brain Health across the Lifespan
Presented by Paul D. Nussbaum, PhD, ABPP
There is no greater or more complex system than the human brain. This magical collection of neurons weighing no more than four pounds enables all of our thoughts, emotions, and behavior. This lecture champions brain health across the lifespan as an important and unique model. Dr. Nussbaum’s five-part lifelong and proactive brain health lifestyle is proposed as critical to maximizing brain health and perhaps delaying neurodegenerative disorders later in life.

Gettysburg: The Battle
Presented by Gary Augustine
For the three days in early July 1863, 170,000 soldiers engaged in a battle President Abraham Lincoln immortalized in a short address five months later. These brave volunteers, some clad in blue, some in gray, each believed their cause right. Among the farms, fields, orchards, and hills surrounding this small town, the battle between these dedicated men swayed until 54,000 of them were dead, wounded, missing, or captured. Join the speaker in exploring the battle’s maneuvers and tactics and how the extraordinary devotion and heroism of these men forever shaped American history.
