Josh Kornbluth
Performer, Writer, Film- & Video-Maker
I believe that achieving equity in brain health is one of the world's great social-justice issues.
Current Work
Josh tours with his autobiographical monologues, writes and acts in feature films, and writes and hosts the "Citizen Brain" online video series (citizenbrain.org).
Personal Hero
Ben Franklin
Words of Strength
Storytelling
Vision
To my way of thinking, the more political equity we can achieve, the more equity we will achieve in brain health.
Strategy
Under the mentorship of Dr. Bruce Miller, Josh is making a series of videos, titled "Citizen Brain," that address a number of issues. One important purpose of the videos is to impress on viewers the importance of focusing on brain health.
Impact
He has also been spreading the message about brain health and brain science in a one-man show that premiered (via Zoom) in October 2020.
Motivation
Not enough people understand the importance of brain health.
Education & Experience
Josh Kornbluth almost graduated from Princeton in 1980, but he didn't complete his senior thesis; he still plans to finish it, at which point he will receive his B.A. in Politics.
