Thrilled to see our latest work out in @NatureComms, supporting that hemodynamic management that targets the heart may improve spinal cord and CV outcomes in high-level #spinalcordinjury. Huge effort from @DrCRWest and Brian Kwon’s teams! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Griffith Pugh (1909 –1994) was a pioneer of exercise #physiology, specialising in human adaptation to #extremeenvironments. @MikeStembridge tells us about Pugh’s painstaking field research to address real-world problems.🧵1/6

Online / hybrid formats massively lower the carbon footprint of meetings. I’d also argue they’re more feasible & accessible to trainees. While I prefer in-person events, organizers should make the hybrid model a staple moving forward. #academictwitter reddit.com/r/science/comment…

Vancouver spinal surgeon Dr. Brian Kwon has donated $1M to establish a new “Living Lab” for spinal cord injury research and care, challenging the centuries-old story that permanent paralysis is permanent after a spinal cord injury.

Proud to have published the first of my PhD studies developing a novel model of #SpinalCordInjury to investigate neurotherapeutic techniques on cardiovascular function
Big thanks to my team @ErskineErin @mehdiahmadian @Matthew__Hanna @DrCRWest for their support and hard work!

Upcoming presentation from @Mypster2 on ischemic 🧠 injury. Given recent #TTM2 trial it will be great to learn more about temperature and 🧠 physiology from expert speakers @BainPhd & Travis Gibbons. Looking forward to discussions with co-chairs @caldwellhannah7 & @Kate_N_Thomas
Our next CBF virtual seminar, chaired by @RyanLeoHoiland, @Kate_N_Thomas and @caldwellhannah7, will be about post-cardiac arrest HIBI ! @Mypster2 will be our guest speaker with abstract talks by @RyanLeoHoiland @BainPhd and Travis Gibbons
