In Memoriam
Members recall a fascinating event with Marian presenting on brain gender differences, she even brought along a real preserved human brain. Marian was interviewed as one of 5 significant women leaders for an Oral History, sponsored by the IWF NorCal Legacy Foundation. Click here for a link to the video tribute and a transcript of the Oral History. A private service has been planned for Marian. You can read Marian's entire obit here. |
Our dear friend and long time former IWF member, Marian Diamond, died in her home in Oakland on July 25. She was a groundbreaking brain researcher at UC Berkeley that established the plasticity of the brain, meaning that the brain is subject to growth or attrition by the nature of its environment. In 1984 Marian was asked to study a preserved slice of Albert Einstein’s brain and found more glial cells than in the average human brain. Some scientists now believe that glial cells play a role in developing human imagination.New Members
