The Aus Senate reported its findings on #concussion and repeated head trauma in sport yesterday - Annette Greenhow PhD is on the ball and offers this balanced and sober assessment of the report.

Excellent piece from Alan Pearce which points clearly to the next frontier in the #concussion crisis in sport.

#UQ 's Dr Stephen Townsend explains the implications of these findings with colleagues in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand: bit.ly/45LpYww
