34 分钟Hey there, it's Shemitha.
Here I am still out on maternity leave.
But here's a conversation that really stuck with me.
It's about memory, family and our understanding of the human brain.
I hope you enjoy it.
This is in conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shemitah Basu.
Today, a story of Alzheimer's and one son's search for answers.
For almost his entire life, Sandeep Jahar's father Prem Johar had been a scientist.
One of his favorite statements to me growing up is non science is nonsense.
Sandeep,
who is a medical doctor himself remembers his father spending long days in the lab doing research
and writing papers.
He was a take charge kind of guy, always striving to succeed.
And he loved spending time with his family, his three kids.
He'd cut fruit for us, you know, that was like his thing that was sort of his love languages.
That's such a like Asian parent thing too.
So the plate of cut fruit just pushed your way.
But then around 2013, Sandeep started to notice some worrying changes in his father.
At first he wasn't sure what was going on.
