@Angry_Staffer If you are a fan of science and sports, then you should read my wife's book: The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future https://t.co/DdSKa6ctw0
Listen Now: Check out the latest episode of the Chasing Life podcast with @drsanjaygupta to hear #BUCTE Center alum @JulieStammPhD discuss concussions, repetitive head impacts, and our latest research in young individuals.

Excellent, well-written article from Celia Ford for @WIREDScience. Nice, clear breakdown of the pathology of CTE and the new study of athletes diagnosed with CTE under age 30.

I appreciated the opportunity to comment on this important new #CTE study. Most were amateur players, with many only playing through HS. Several multi-contact-sport athletes. A female soccer player as well. Several sports represented.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, my wife is amazing. @JulieStammPhD
was interviewed by CNN yesterday (again) about CTE. Check it out:

@CaulfieldTim@US_FDA@MailOnline@DrJenGunter It's like she is hellbent on developing a novel disease just so it can be named after her. At least she would be remembered for something then because she certainly won't be remembered for her acting.
I'm honored to have had the opportunity to contribute to the "Fixing the Future" feature in the On Wisconsin magazine, highlighting my research and that of my colleagues in Kinesiology to improve safety, ensure access, & shift the culture in youth sports.

New Paper Alert! https://t.co/59CV6pfXvp
85% reduction in the odds of antibiotics prescribed
923% increase in the odds of antivirals prescribed
A fast and easy to use tool can change clinical decision making for ARIs

Huge thank you to Dr. Temte and Dr. Gurley for the guidance along the way. I cannot thank the entire research team and Quidel enough for allowing me to work with you all and for just being amazing people.
My first, first author paper (and my first ever paper) was just published (early access) today in Clinical Infectious Diseases!!! Take a look here: https://t.co/UUpIiD893o

Spark notes version of our findings: use rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) when treating patients with ARI symptoms.
We found a 923% increase in antivirals prescribed and an 85% reduction in antibiotics prescribed when an RIDT was used, and that is just the start.
