 luable things we own: our attention. Professor Katherine Johnson draws on 
 developmental neuroscience to explain how attention works\, why it's so ea
 sily taxed in an information-saturated world\, and what we can actually do
  to protect and restore our focus in everyday life.\n\nIt's a family-frien

 ething genuinely useful.\n\nWe'll meet at the gates of the library at 5:45
 pm for a quick hello\, then head in together for the 6pm start. The talk w
 raps up around 7:30pm\, and anyone who'd like to keep the conversation goi
 ng is welcome to join us for a casual bite nearby afterwards.\n\nJust so i
