Jeremy Richman, Ph.D.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute will present a lecture by Jeremy Richman, Ph.D., a neuro-pharmacologist and CEO of the Avielle Foundation on Tuesday, March 19 at 4 p.m. in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute complex at 抖M女仆鈥檚 John D. MacArthur Campus at Jupiter.
鈥淭he Neuroscience of Being Human(e)鈥 will examine recent brain research that provides insights that can help everyday citizens to identify the signs and symptoms of someone troubled or in crisis, to responsibly advocate for those at risk of violence to themselves or to others, and, most importantly, to foster kind, healthy and compassionate individuals and communities.
Richman鈥檚 daughter, Avielle, was murdered in her first-grade classroom in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012. In response, Richman and his wife started the Avielle Foundation, which is committed to preventing violence and building compassion through brain health research, community engagement and education.
The lecture is part of 鈥淏rainy Days 2019,鈥 a celebration of neuroscience in March sponsored by 抖M女仆鈥檚 Brain Institute and the Palm Heath Foundation. 鈥淏rainyDays鈥漣s a community outreach initiative designed to share the promise and progress of brain research and to help dispel the stigma associated with brain disorders.
