Dear Neal M. Goldsmith PhD,
 I recently became interested in the human concience on how we are able to remember things like speech and peoples faces. This really fascinates me , I would love to know more about this I feel like you are the right person to talk to about this. As I read your article about our concience the article intrigued me more and more.
