Dr. Collins’ talk, the first in the 2016 Diane Jacobson Speaker Series, was so well attended that about 40 peo- ple were turned away long before the 1:30 p.m. start due to limited capacity of the room where the talk was held. Those who did attend were treated to a scholarly, yet entertaining, evolution- ary trip through the brain and its functions. Collins also debunked some of the current claims being made for supplements and activi- ties that purport to improve your brain function. Friends of the Sisters Library, who sponsor the Jacobson series each year, are grateful that Collins offered to repeat his pre- sentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to see inside a human brain as well as receive hand- outs on helpful things to do to take good care of your brain. There is no charge for the talk, and reservations are not taken. The next talk in the series will feature Dr. Rob Jeffrey who will speak on Pain — Treatment and Prevention, on February 7, 1:30 p.m. in the Sisters Library Community Room.
