Today was a Great Friday! @maria_eagles and I are so happy to introduce little Anne-Marie. Will let her rest up for the weekend but neuroanatomy classes start next week. #FutureNeurosurgeon #girldad

Today’s meeting was a little different but technology makes social distancing a whole lot easier. The team discussed their ongoing research and plans for increasing concussion education moving forward in the near future.

[NL Ice Dogs Hockey @icedogsnl]

It was a pleasure to have Scott from @ConcussionU speak to our players on the importance of brain health and identifying the signs of a concussion @MUNMed.

[Concussion-U @ConcussionU]

Great to see NL moving in the right direction in helping to protect our young athletes.

[Michael Connors @MikeConnors]

Dwight Ball speaks to a minor hockey banquet in Paradise. He promises to introduce an NL version of "Rowan's Law." Passed in Ontario, it establishes mandatory requirements for dealing with concussions in sport. #nlpoli

[Dr. Charles Tator @CharlesTator]

Katherine Blaze Baum wrote a great "opinion" article in yesterday's Globe and Mail about her experience with a concussion. She exquisitely describes the ravages of concussion, and shows why we need to do more to prevent them and learn how to treat them.

“Unmasking Brain Injury” installation at the 2019 World Congress. Allowing brain injury sufferers to tell their stories. Really brings this work into perspective.

Fascinating talk by Dr. Austin Porter this morning at #IBIA2019. Both insurance status and race have an impact on severe pediatric TBI outcome in the US, with uninsured and black patients having significantly worse outcomes #TBI
