In conjunction with its new exhibition On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War, the Intrepid Museum is presenting a panel discussion that explores new research on memory and trauma. The panel Memory, Trauma and Resilience will be held on Wednesday, November 18, at 7:30pm in the Allison & Howard Lutnick Theater.

Four decades after the Vietnam War, 11 percent of veterans still suffer from posttraumatic stress, and new research suggests that for some people, this condition is unlikely to go away. BBC journalist and author Kim Ghattas, who grew up on the front lines of Lebanon’s civil war, will moderate a discussion among leading scientists who research the processes of memory. The panel will feature Joseph LeDoux, Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science at New York University (NYU) and director of the Emotional Brain Institute at NYU; George Bonanno, professor of clinical psychology and director of the Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab, Teachers College, Columbia University; Charles Marmar, chair of the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center and director of the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Veterans Center and Military Family Clinic; and Daniela Schiller, assistant professor of psychiatry and neuroscience and head of the Schiller Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
