Charles Pierce is a regular contributor to National Public Radio and ESPN radio as well as a writer at large for Esquire magazine and a staff member at the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine. In this lecture—part of a two day conference at Boston College called “Aging, Genetic Technology, and the Future”—he discusses his book, Hard to Forget: An Alzheimer’s Story (Random House, 2000), about the scientific race to discover the causes of Alzheimer’s and his own father’s struggle with the disease.
