Week 3, Day 3

Happy Wednesday and third day of this week’s internship! This week you’ll be getting started on your respective projects, finishing the initiation/planning stage and wrapping up the week with the research portion of the project. We’re super excited to hear about the progress you guys are making and are always here as a resource!

Thank you all for a wonderful discussion yesterday! This week we’ll be giving you guys more time with projects and making a lighter scheduled week. We’re going to continue the rest of the week with guest speakers, author of Shaken Brain, Dr. Elizabeth Sandel, MD on Wednesday 6/29 at 10am PST and Dr. Deborah Bensen, PhD on Thursday 6/30 at 12pm PST.

Your PM’s will also reach out with each partner project individually to set-up meetings times to check-in and review progress or if there’s any questions! If you guys have any questions about the project or anything related to the program, please don’t hesitate to message Conor, Andy or Fadhil on Slack and they will be happy to support you!

Andy will also reach out to each of you individually per week to create social media pages for the Concussion Alliance Twitter page!

Come to Dr. Sandel’s guest speaker speech with a question, she’s the author of Shaken Brain so let’s keep the conversation rolling!
