Thank you @nytimes for celebrating Bruce McEwen’s seminal discoveries.

Feeling awful today about the death of one of my postdoctoral mentors Bruce McEwen. The world was a far better place with him in it. He was one of the kindest most generous people I've ever known, along with being a groundbreaking scientist.

The newly minted Bloss lab @jacksonlab is hiring postdocs for exciting positions looking at the connectivity and plasticity of neural circuits in relation to behavior. Come enjoy life and science in Bar Harbor! Please RT.

Congratulations to Sougandhi (Samantha) L. Backhaus, Ph.D., @RehabHospofIN and Jennifer Ann Bogner, Ph.D., ABPP, FACRM @OSUWexMed for their work to better the lives of individuals with brain injury! bit.ly/2YVkyfz

You want to know why we’re having trouble with concussions today as opposed to the past? Well let me get out on a limb and give you an example; would you go and run, cut and jump within hours of tearing an ACL or spraining an ankle? #f0005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Important work from the CARE consortium. Actual biomechanics of impact do little to predict concussion but previous exposure to head impact is critically important. link.springer.com/article/10.100… #concussion

Tomorrow is #WorldStrokeDay. Stroke is the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and a leading cause of disability. Stop by the Brain and Spine Hospital Lobby between 10a and 2p for free screenings to see if you're at risk. go.osu.edu/CcZx #KnowYourRisk @OSUBrainHealth

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death in the US for all life stages. But the rates, leading causes, and risk factors differ by age. Learn more about #TBIs: go.usa.gov/xPNJR
