November 29, 2011Exclusive at Concussion Inc.: Documenting the Federal Government’s Multimillion-Dollar Support of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Concussion Research
November 30, 2011
A very busy news day at Concussion Inc. Let’s get started.
George Vecsey of The New York Times has a huge, and hugely important, story today on the latest class-action litigation on the concussion issue against the National Collegiate Athletic Association. (This is at least the second such lawsuit: see “Off the Radar: Ex-Player Files Class-Action Concussion Suit Against NCAA,” September 14, https://concussioninc.net/?p=4593.)
Vecsey’s must-read is at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/30/sports/ncaafootball/college-players-move-concussions-issue-into-the-courtroom.html?_r=1&ref=sports#.
Next here: The National Institutes of Health releases to me the grant documents and progress reports for NIH’s multimillion-dollar support of concussion research by ImPACT Applications company founders Dr. Joseph Maroon, Mark Lovell, and Micky Collins, and their team at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
