Episode 14: Discovering Brain Health and Lifelong Learning with OLLI-UW

Forever Curious: An Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Podcast

In this episode of Forever Curious, Natalie Lecher and Charlene Joy join Murray Urquhart for a conversation on brain health. Together our panel explore how OLLI is making brain health education and lifelong learning accessible to everyone, no matter their age or background.

Natalie shares the behind-the-scenes story of OLLI's popular Brain Health series, inspired by Dr. Eric Chudler's engaging lectures on how the brain works. Charlene offers a personal perspective, recounting her experiences attending these lectures and how they've sparked her curiosity and passion for learning.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) aims to connect people with cutting-edge research and practical tools for maintaining brain health while fostering community and social engagement.

Learn about free lectures, resources, and the joy of continuous education—all designed to keep your mind sharp and your curiosity alive.
