Can Memory Loss Be Overcome? A Scientist's Journey of Recovery and Rediscovery

Almost 40 years ago, a bus ran over me leaving me with a massive concussion. After various operations, I had a stroke, together with the bus, I lost most of my memories and ability to continue in my major fields of mathematical physics and systems engineering.

[ I continued to work in fields where I could be useful at times contributie.] I still read, hoping that running a river thru my head of ideas and technical challenges might trigger some recovery. ]

Now, with some new operations and meds, my memory is beginning to recover. But I'm nagged by the starving babies of research/joint projects left lost

Of course, I had to resign from research and teaching, and disappear from a community of wonderful colleagues.

Looking over some of the quite inspiring threads in this forum, I'm hoping to participate in a new community as I learn.

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
Hello! I am a recent graduate with a Bachelors of Science with a major in Mathematics and a minor in physics! I initially wanted to pursue advanced study in mathematics but taking some physics classes in my undergrad ignited an interest in physics for me! I am really interested in Particle and Nuclear Physics and hope to pursue a graduate study in said area some time in the future! Nice to meet everyone! I am happy to talk about physics with you all!
