0:06Hi.
0:06Today we have David Cicillo.
0:09He is a neuroscientist, a technologist, and an author.
0:13But don't let that sway you.
0:16This isn't a tech-heavy story.
0:17No.
0:18This is a very personal story.
0:19Correct.
0:20And a very moving one.
0:22Incredibly moving one about really growing up in a lot of public housing or boy homes and homes.
0:30It's very connected to the episode we had on foster care.
0:36Yes.
0:36He mentions that a lot.
0:38He felt very seen by that episode.
0:40And this is kind of like that episode, a personal story.
0:43Yes.
0:44Mixed with turning out to be a neuroscientist.
0:46Yes.
0:47He has a book out.
0:48It's a memoir.
0:49It's called Emergence, a Memoir of Boyhood, Computation, and the Mystery of Mind.
0:55It's quite an incredible story.
0:57I was riveted.
0:58It's very moving and touching.
