Meet Dr. André Fenton, co-host of NOVA Wonders

Neurobiologist André Fenton wants to know exactly how memory works. He investigates how our life experiences are laid down and stored as memories in our brains, and how the act of remembering triggers relevant information and ignores what’s irrelevant, allowing you, for example, to remember the food poisoning you contracted on that awkward first date 10 years ago— and the chicken marsala that caused it—over the shirt you wore at the time.
