"Fenwick was privileged to host a discussion between litigation partner Saina Shamilov and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Charan Ranganath with profound perspectives and insights on the science and perception of human memory. Centered on Dr. Ranganath's critically acclaimed book Why We Remember, he brought an engaging mix of deep knowledge, compassion, and pragmatism that resonated with attendees across the firm’s nationwide offices. Dr. Ranganath revealed intriguing elements about human memory - how the act of recalling can subtly alter our memories and the integral role memory plays in defining our self-identity. He explained the connection between memory and imagination, providing a fascinating lens through which we view our recollections. Dr. Ranganath showed how the understanding of memory's power can make an important impact on one’s life. Our audience left inspired and empowered to learn more about why, how, and what we remember and make beneficial changes in their daily routines."
