Today is Glioblastoma Awareness Day, which has the goal of educating people about the most common, complex, treatment-resistant and deadly type of brain cancer. Here's a story from MedicalNewsToday about a promising new treatment — an mRNA vaccine that could potentially retrain the body's immune system to attack and treat glioblastoma.

I am a #cognitiveneuroscientist studying how the human #brain represents the #meaning of objects, actions, words and events. My lab @CMU conducts #research with patients with #braintumor, #stroke , #epilepsy and #TBI. #MRI #neuroscience #neuroplasticity #cognition

Over the last several years I have become inspired by the challenge of how to take things that happen in the lab and turn them into things that happen in peoples lives, at scale. #startup #entrepreneur #ai #MachineLearning #medtech
