Happy New Year & Back to School from the Cortex Lab!
To start off 2022 and to get to know our Twitter community, join us each week as we introduce a member of our lab.
This week we will begin by introducing our executive director, @MAGarciaBarrera! Stay tuned!
@MAGarciaBarrera & @Cole_J_Kennedy shed light on overdose-related brain injury, an overlooked epidemic. The 3-year BC Consensus on Brain Injury calls for more government action, highlighting the link between brain injury and issues like homelessness.
