People Zoo #6: A person named Jonah Lehrer


Jonah Lehrer is a real people person and that's why I've chosen to honor him here at People Zoo. He loves people and their brains and so do I. If you'd like to better understand the greatness of Mr. Lehrer, you can visit him at many different locations:

His blog:

At Radio Lab, where he is a frequent contributor:

Or you could read one of his books!
Proust was a Neuroscientist
or
How We Decide

People Zoo #5: People honor and remember other people with festivals

It seems that it helps people to remember other people who advanced/inspired/improved the collective human experience. One such person is Albert Ayler. There is a FESTIVAL for him tomorrow at Roosevelt Island!!! A People Zoo favorite, Marshall Allen, will be there to perform in memory and honor of Mr. Ayler.
