A good friend advances medical science ∞
Weekly nuggets of pain science news and insight, usually 100-300 words, with the occasional longer post. The blog is the “director’s commentary” on the core content of PainScience.com: a library of major articles and books about common painful problems and popular treatments. See the blog archives or updates for the whole site.
My friend Dr. Rob Tarzwell is celebrating the publication of this here scientific paper with his name on it. It’s about brain injury, so it’s well off-topic for the salamander … but I’m very interested on a personal level, because my wife’s brain was so badly hurt in an accident in Laos back in 2010. Plus, the tech of it is bloody fascinating (and arcane). My congratulations to Rob on a meaningful and novel contribution to medical science: hats off and high fives!
