The Woman Who Can’t Forget

Via Arts and Letters Daily: an article about a woman who seems to have perfect recall of events and dates. This seems fascinating, and not only in the scientific arena. Sure, scientists want to figure out how her brain is wired and understand her amazing ability, but even short of that, it’s interesting to essay about, especially given that “fallible memory” is such a driving force/underlying subject of essays.

There’s an exceptional person for everything.
