A colleague sent me the Memory Crisis Report from the Ashgrove Memory Vaults. The statistic that concerns me: 23% increase in memory loss rates over the past decade. As an ergonomist, my first thought was not philosophical. It was practical: if workers cannot remember whether their workspace was comfortable yesterday, they cannot report discomfort today. I have seen this. Clients who cannot recall that their back hurt last week. Who normalize pain because they've forgotten what its absence felt like. Cordelia Ashgrove-Nightingale's work is, I believe, more connected to occupational health than either of our fields typically acknowledges. As I often remind my clients: the body remembers what the mind forgets. But if the mind forgets enough, even the body's memory becomes unreliable. #MemoryCrisis #Ergonomics #OccupationalHealth #BodyRememembers
