Back on the road ✈️ speaking @NANS_ION for #neuromodulation #neuralinjury #spinalcordinjury. & Re-watching Super/man: The Christopher Reeve Story. If you haven’t seen it, please make time. It’s an incredible story of overcoming disability, advocacy, & how 1 person can change 🌎

To those curious, Christopher Reeve never overcame his physical disability from #SCI, but his mental approach to continuing life & recognizing what was important to him & what he had left to give to his family, his community, & others with disability became his driving force

Wonderful time presenting @winter_brain in #LakeTahoe ⛷️ with @VeronicaTomlab @TedsunL @stereotactics, & 🙏🏼 ASIA for sponsoring our session!! Also, many reflections on Dr. Jerry Silver. He was a mentor to many & is clearly missed already in our field. #winterbrain #WCBR2025 #SCI

Replying to @SpinalResearch
@SpinalResearch was proud to put on a small private screening of the new "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" film in London on Thursday. Many friends, colleagues, partners, and supporters gathered to watch a film about a man who transcends lore, imagination, and brutal reality.
