Protecting brain health in the SOF community is a core focus of #MTBI2’s research. Two new MTBI2 studies led by our @drmichaelroy are among the first of their kind, examining brain health in SOF communities that are rarely studied.

1 man with a gun. 22+ Dead 60+ injured. The Lewiston Maine mass shooting this evening is not the first and it won’t be the last because sensible gun legislation is a topic that is taboo in politics. As the body bags pile up can we at least try and figure out a way to slow these people down? I don’t eat “thoughts and prayers”. I want “discussion and action.”

Many military members experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress like nightmares, irritability, and flashbacks. We’re helping by comparing two types of teletherapy for posttraumatic stress. Volunteers can participate by computer. Contact 301-412-8187 or recontrol@usuhs.edu.

When it's your turn to get the vaccine—please do. The only way our economy can fully recover, our kids can safely go back to school and everyone can get back on their feet is if we use every tool in the toolkit to fight this pandemic.

Some say they love Pres Trump’s “strength” and speech. I promise you he has no strength, just loud words. @Liz_Cheney showed strength of conviction... to #restoreourgop we must be honest about where we have fallen, and how to return to our roots.
