Rehabilitation Roundup for February 2020
Greetings!

This month we have our own Shelly Sakiyama-Elbert on 2/21 to continue our unit on regenerative rehabilitation/SCI.


There are a number of other great talks, including faculty search talks and one by my colleague Prof. Vikram Chib from Johns Hopkins on Friday on how sense of effort affects our decisions.

I hope to see you there!
