SYMPOSIUM DINNER

On the eve of the 10th annual Reprogramming the Brain to Health Symposium, Center for BrainHealth supporters dined with guest speakers and BrainHealth’s lead scientists at the home library of Kathy and Harlan Crow. The larger-than-life-size statues of historical figures on the Crow grounds and numerous significant U.S. artifacts provided a thoughtprovoking backdrop for a reunion of computational psychiatry pioneers and conversations between the expert scientists and some of Dallas’ top community leaders and philanthropists.

The symposium dinner also celebrated the Dr. Charles L. Branch BrainHealth Award 2016 recipient, Karl Friston, FRS, FMedSci. Representing the award’s namesake, Dr. Branch, Sr.’s beloved widow, Sylvia Branch, of San Antonio was joined by three of their five children— son Dr. Charles Branch, Jr., or Charlie; son Alfred Branch with his wife, Judy, their son, Lee, and Lee’s wife, Cassie; and son, Hon. Dan Branch, with wife, Stacey, their son, Daniel, and Daniel’s wife, Heather.
