It really is time to relook at how we define and reward academic success to stop the game playing and integrity issues before the public lose trust in science. More than 10,000 research papers were retracted in 2023 nature.com/articles/d4158…

A great project by one of our MPhil students has just been published! The findings highlight that standardised processes are needed to identify acute and historic #TBI # concussion in the justice sector. publish.csiro.au/IB/IB23069

TBI is more than Mild, Moderate and Severe TBI - “We need to find a better way to classify TBI.” - Geoff Manley NINDS

Great to finally see some consistency across sports in return to play guidelines after #concussion! Now we need to provide supports and enable clinicians to implement the guidelines. stuff.co.nz/sport/35016568…

Sadly a story so many working in government organisations can relate to. nzherald.co.nz/nz/worker-bull…

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to our Growing Connections @AUTUNI #TBI event yesterday. What a fabulous day of sharing, learning and generating new research ideas with people from such diverse backgrounds. Feeling very excited about the way forward!

More evidence for abandoning severity classification of #TBI by GCS score. CT abnormalities observed in mild TBI ranked the same as those in moderate to severe TBI - just less frequent. liebertpub.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

This qualitative study reveals a need for routine screening processes, clarification of professional roles, streamed healthcare pathways, data sharing and upskilling workforce knowledge to facilitate identification and management of #TBI in the justice sector Alice Theadom

We're keen to hear your experience of NZ concussion services and barriers and facilitators of access. If you've had a #concussion or mild #TBI in the last 5 years we would love to hear your thoughts in a short online survey.

We are recruiting! Have you experienced a mild #tbi or #concussion we would love to hear if and how it affected your romantic relationships in any way

Interesting that people in positions of power state no such thing as head injuries in domestic or interpersonal violence or the risk of CTE. More needs to be done to assess support and protect these survivors
