Curiosity peaked, she's taking part in additional studies, she's writing a magazine, and also the greatest change of, she's a brand new gig: like a consultant on CBS' new show Memorable. Starring Poppy Montgomery as Barbara Wells, a NY City cop with HSAM (that was formerly known as hyperthymesia), the drama is dependant on J. Robert Lennon's short story "The Rememberer."
