I know the stress from not knowing whether you have #CTE pathology. That's why we are launching the #BankCTE study tomorrow
BankCTE will build on successful Alzheimer's disease research to try to discover a blood biomarker for CTE during life. Sign up at bankcte.org

What if we could detect CTE through a simple blood draw?

Join CLF & Boston University CTE Center Tuesday as we launch BANK CTE, aiming to identify biomarkers unique to CTE, which would help scientists eventually diagnose the disease in living patients. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Did you play Pop Warner or pee-wee football? We are urgently looking for men 40+ who played youth 🏈 but not in high school, to take an online survey so that we can learn more about later-life brain health risks from head impacts in contact sports. Enroll HITSS.org

You don’t want to miss this! Tune in next week to hear about BANK CTE, which aims to bring us closer to diagnosing CTE in life. I will be introducing the study before Drs. Alosco and Stein discuss what we can learn from plasma biomarkers and the value of brain donation!

Nothing great ever comes easy. To those who fought like hell to make @thePWHLofficial dream a reality, thank you for giving greatness a new sheet of ice to shine on.

We did it. Daylight has been saved but at what cost

Just realizing I never made an official announcement, but super excited to share I have joined the ⁦Boston University CTE Center (⁦Boston University CTE Center⁩) as a Project Manager! Extremely blessed to be able to combine my sport and research passions! bu.edu/cte/profile/ke…

My goofy boy is 1 today!

WOAH HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE APP

If twitter DOES go down I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. And whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

For those keeping track, Twitter is currently in the stage of the Titanic sinking where the band is continuing to play and Billy Zane is running around the ship with a gun

Go Vote!

... as you do, keep in mind that waves are intended to be blue. 🌊
