Thinking of writing your first big grant? Can’t recommend this program enough and learned many nuanced approaches I still use today.

AI integration in spinal cord injury medicine precourse at the ASIA2025 meeting. Led by @peabody124.bsky.social and Dr. Sarah Brueningk. Learning lessons from other successful examples in Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Cardiology.

Closed-loop vagus nerve stimulation aids recovery from spinal cord injury - Nature Following spinal cord injury, gamified physical therapy that incorporates closed-loop vagus nerve stimulation can aid restoration of arm and hand function.

Yeah that was a great session from the American Spinal Cord Injury Association! If you like that session, check out the conference! :) asia-spinalinjury.org

Proud early PI moment. Lab did an amazing job presenting our new work on autonomic neuromodulation for people w/ spinal cord injury at the Minnesota Neuromodulation Symposium

Important work coming out on:
-cardiac stability w/ spinal stim
-biomarkers of spasticity
-AD during motor threshold tests

Learn how controlled breathing reduces anxiety and inflammation and how intermittent low oxygen drives plasticity and improves health at this #APS2025 game-changer session: ow.ly/kEZO50VlLfV #WeArePhysiology 🧪 @ameuret.bsky.social

Ground breaking wireless bladder pressure monitor for real world recordings in Journal of Urology. Already yielding results, showing higher pressures during ambulation. This will change how we manage and think about bladder dysfunction after SCI.

Sponsored by the now defunded DoD SCIRP grants.

Collateral Damage (Episode 119) We are interrupting our regularly scheduled programming with this update on a major setback for SCI research. On March 15th, Congress eliminated an effective Spinal Cord Injury Research program...

Worth a listen, new podcast from @u2fp.bsky.social with Dr. Andy Taylor on the recently disbanded $40M DoD spinal cord injury research program.

This was a unique program which ensured people impacted by SCI were helping make funding decisions based on community priorities.

Combinatorial approaches increasing neuronal activity accelerate recovery after spinal cord injury Chen et al. report that patients with spinal cord injury who received treatment with a combination of Hebbian stimulation to strengthen corticospinal synap

Significant functional improvements in walking speed/endurance for people with spinal cord injury with combined 4-aminopyridine and paired associative stimulation.

A great study by Dr. Monica Perez and an All Star group.

This is really interesting & I hope it holds up to rigorous peer review.

With an intervention at 2-4 weeks after acute SCI, considering natural recovery is key. Digital twins are ideal to know typical recovery.

Dr. Bruningk’s site will be my first stop when these results hit.

Implanted neural interfaces throughout the body

Are you …Ready for It? In this Era of neurotechnology, we wrote this TIMEly review of the technological and biological failure modes of implanted neural interfaces and how to overcome these challenges, Swiftly published in Bioelectronic Medicine. PS I’m so proud of these figures. rdcu.be/eduek

What a great panel!

@ben-petrie.bsky.social gave a great #physiatry2025 presentation on EMG biofeedback for people with spinal cord injury and won first prize! Thanks to the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation for support for this project, and to all of our participants.

Excited to share this soon in an upcoming manuscript!

A fun data science competition with unique dataset access for those interested in spinal cord injury research (or who just want to make the world better).

Reveal of winning team results will be a highlight of the American Spinal Injury Association precourse this June!

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

Editorial on a critical access issue for individuals with spinal cord injuries.

Despite 98% of US physicians using nitro paste as 1st line for autonomic dysreflexia management - this basic med isn’t available in Canada or Latin America.

Think you know Autonomic Dysreflexia after spinal cord injury?

After decades of everyone doing their own thing, we’ve had 20 years consensus definition.

But it’s far from perfect. Herein we take a deep dive into where the definition fails and how it might be improved.

This is so important… many people make serious sacrifices to attend conferences, an essential part of the research enterprise. These are critical insights.
