Rotary Club of Westminster East

Tonight's speaker is Fiona Mc Nab a UCL Researcher. She will be speaking about Distraction, Ageing and Memory Training.

Fiona McNab became interested in memory while working as postdoc at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Using brain scanning techniques she studied the brain’s ability to block out distraction when performing memory tasks (“the spam filter of the brain”!) and also how the brain changes after a sustained period of memory training.

She now has an “Career Development Fellowship” from the Wellcome Trust, and works at UCL conducting studies of distraction, brain training and ageing.

This meeting with an interesting subject is suitable for Rotarians and Non-Rotarians.

PLEASE NOTE: OUR MEETING TIME HAS CHANGED

We now meet at 6.30 for a 7 pm (prompt) start.

We hope this change will provide our members and guests more fellowship time and make it less of a rush from work to our meetings...

For those who have time , we also go for drinks to Charing Cross Theatre, the Players Bar after most of the meetings...
