Culture Feed is the blog for arts and culture in the Bay Area – produced by the culture desk of The Bay Citizen. From breaking arts news to event coverage to YouTube videos, Culture Feed aims to bring you the best in culture from around the Bay. Please drop us a line and let us know what’s on your radar.
The Bay Area is typically quite well represented, and this year is no exception, as poet Kay Ryan, based in Fairfax, got the nod. Another local winner is William Seeley, a neurologist at UCSF who explores diseases such as Alzheimer's using brain imaging (fMRI) — his work is thought to lay the foundation for possible future treatments of the irreversible condition.
Here is an appreciation of Ryan by The Bay Citizen earlier this year, on the occasion of her Pulitzer, and here is a full list of all 22 MacArthur prize-winners. Congrats!
