My Take
Russell Barkley earns a different kind of admiration from me than any entertainer could. Born in 1949 and trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he spent nearly half a century researching ADHD, executive function, and attention. What I value most is not the academic output but its human effect: he gave countless individuals and families the words to understand that they were not simply lazy or undisciplined. Illuminating a widely misunderstood condition with rigorous science is quiet, unglamorous heroism. That he kept teaching as a clinical professor until 2022 only deepens my respect for a genuinely consequential career.
