Week 1, Day 5

Welcome to the first Friday of your externship with Concussion Alliance! We are excited to work with you and to get to know you better. Thank you for joining us.

We are looking forward to helping you get up to speed on your concussion knowledge and then up and running on your projects this week. You’ll have concussion curriculum every day, and we’ll spend time on remote teamwork and shared learning. You’ll also start doing background research on your projects and learn about our process in preparation for writing for the newsletter next week.

We hope you enjoyed hearing from Dan Fogarty yesterday. Our discussion on Shaken Brain is today at 11am PST.

1. Newsletter prep: Galen Moller Writing Module

  • Today you’ll continue preparing to write for the newsletter next week. This summer, leadership team members Julian Szieff and Galen Moller created educational modules to help get new writers up to speed with our methodology and style. Galen has worked previously as the executive editor of our newsletter, and has extensive experience as a writer and editor. Her module focuses on writing and editing for our specific mix of audiences and provides valuable insights on important do’s and don’ts.
