Dr. Kristen Rasmussen is doing exciting research on extreme events, particularly weather events such as heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, hail storms, and other events that have a big impact on humans and society. She is interested in examining these extreme event systems in the context of our current climate and how they may change in the future.

When it comes to treating, managing, and living with neurological conditions, some of the biggest questions are: what do we know, and what can we do to maximize outcomes and quality of life?

We're excited to invite patients, clinicians, caregivers, scientists, and other rehabilitation professionals to join us for candid conversations about new research, evidence-based interventions, interdisciplinary collaboration, and lived experience perspectives in neurorehabilitation.

This brand new podcast is brought to you by the Mike A. Myers Stroke Center at Texas Woman's University, and I'm thrilled to be co-hosting the program with the Center's Director Dr. Jyutika Mehta.

Episodes feature expert guests across a wide range of topics, and our first episode focuses on neurorecovery across the lifespan.

Our wonderful guests Dr. Jason Carmel and Dr. Steven Zeiler shared their insights on neurorecovery in pediatric and adult populations, and new research areas that have the potential to enhance recovery.
