Everyone has at least a single moment in their lives that they wish they could banish from their memory. Imagine if it was possible to permanently displace these from the mind forever with the aid of ever-advancing science. That is the premise of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” the most recent choice for this past Friday’s movie screening and discussion event hosted by UBRP member, Kent Kemmish, Dr. Brower’s lab, Molecular & Cellular Biology.

Students and faculty gathered for the free viewing, and afterwards debated the possibility of the ideas presented during the thought-provoking drama-comedy. Chief among those who participated in the discussion was honored neurobiologist Dr. Renato Corradetti of the University of Florence (Italy). Dr. Corradetti provided attendees with his extensive knowledge and insight into the inner workings of memory and the mind.
