Great legacies are rarely built alone.
Journalist Eric Andrew-Gee joins Davide to discuss Dr. Wilder Penfield, the celebrated neurosurgeon whose work helped map the human brain, and William Cone, the brilliant but largely forgotten collaborator beside him at the Montréal Neurological Institute. Drawing on Eric's new book The Mind Mappers: Friendship, Betrayal and the Obsessive Quest to Chart the Brain, the conversation looks at partnership, betrayal and the forces that shape public memory.
Taking Penfield's familiar Canadian TV Heritage Minute as a starting point, Eric explains how Penfield became one of Canada's best-known scientific figures, why Cone's role faded from view, and what their story reveals about how legacies are made: who gets remembered, who gets burnt, and how archives, media and institutions shape the historical record.
