Week 3, Day 1

Welcome to Week 3! As we begin to make the transition to a more specific focus on project research, there will still be plenty of opportunities for general learning about mTBI. Today, you’ll hear from neurosurgeon Dr. Uzma Samadani and finish reading Part Two of Shaken Brain (Chs. 6-7) and on Wednesday, you’ll hear from endocrinologist Dr. Tamara Wexler. We’re excited to have two guest speakers this week and looking forward to hearing about your research progress during your individual check-in!

New Tasks/Notifications:

• Individual Project Check-ins with PM, Malayka, and Conor (URGENT)

  • If you have not done so already, please schedule a check-in at a time that works for both you and your partner (if you have one) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Please make sure to get to this form BEFORE 3 PM PST TODAY.

Expert Guest Speaker: Uzma Samadani, MD, PhD

• Today you’ll be hearing from Dr. Uzma Samadani! Make sure you’ve read the two PDFs assigned last week and come prepared with some questions to ask her. You can also take a look at her Concussion Alliance profile in preparation for her talk.
