Staff Pick: Inception

Development Officer Stephanie Gozali is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Christopher Nolan's Inception.

"This is exactly the kind of mind-bending film that I'll be watching," Gozali says. "Especially when we're all cooped up inside social distancing at home, and dreaming of the days when we can all go back to our regular lives again." Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on Netflix and available to rent on most platforms.

After the film, you can watch our Science on Screen lecture from 2018, when Boston University neuroscience professor Steve Ramirez spoke about the real-life malleability of human memories and how easily false memories can actually be created.
