Your Topic:
From Nature to the Pharmacy: Taking a Hit: The Science and Uncertainty of Concussion in Sport
Every weekend, athletes collide at full speed, cop a hit to the head, and are often back on the field minutes later. So, when is a knock just a knock, and when is it something more? In this talk, Reece traces how concussion in sport went from "getting your bell rung" to front-page news, and explains what a concussion actually is and what happens inside the brain. He'll unpack the science behind chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), why researchers are increasingly concerned about repetitive head impacts that never cause symptoms, and how sports decide when a player is safe to return. Along the way, he'll show why concussion remains one of sport's most complex problems, and why the answers aren't as simple as the headlines suggest.
