<p>“Indiana University neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, a tireless advocate for the value of creativity and balance – and brain donations for purposes of research – was selected as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.”</p>
<p>Wow. What a story of triumph. Her book is going on my reading list for the summer. Thanks Calcruzer!</p>
<p>This is from her website:</p>
<p>"…Jill Bolte Taylor of Bloomington, who experienced a stroke in 1996 that left her in a complete vegetative state. She has since completely recovered and she is inspiring others through her story of survival.</p>
<p>Ten years ago Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor was living in Boston teaching and performing brain research at Harvard Medical School. In addition, she was the national spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Bank. In 1996, her work was stopped when she experienced a major AVM stroke. At the age of 37, she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. With the help of her mother it took Jill eight years to completely recover."</p>
