On August 30, celebrated neurologist and beloved author Oliver Sacks died of cancer at the age of 82. He published more than a dozen books, mostly about the intricacies, mysteries, and beauty of the brain and how it shapes human experience in unexpected ways.
His work influenced an entire generation of lay-people to learn about science, and he helped raise awareness about once unknown conditions such as Tourette’s syndrome and prosopagnosia.
Some of his books turned into award-winning films (Awakenings, starring Robin Williams and Robert De Niro) and many of them were best-sellers (The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat).
