🗣️Have you ever heard of a #laryngectomy? It is a surgical treatment for laryngeal cancer - one that removes the larynx (voice box) to save lives. However, it comes with a profound consequence: it takes away the patient's natural voice. Imagine waking up one day unable to speak as you always have. No effortless conversations. No spontaneous laughter in a crowd. How would you communicate?

#ICAIR2024 was an amazing multidisciplinary event! Gloria Boudreault-Morales did a truly fantastic job communicating our lab's work in the 3MT session. Bravo Gloria!

[North American Spinal Cord Injury Consortium @NASCIC1]

If you haven’t yet taken part in the SCI Powered Network Survey on health information and sources, please consider taking a few minutes to weigh in on this important topic.

The survey takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
