Researchers from the University of Calgary want to SHRed concussions and injuries in youth across Alberta. Sports can have a positive impact on a young person's development, but concussions can have a huge impact on brain development. So how can we protect our kids while encouraging them to participate in sport?

SHRed Concussions with University of Calgary Professor Dr. Carolyn Emery

In this episode I had the pleasure to talk with Carolyn Emery. A colleague I had the opportunity to work with since the early hours of both our academic careers. Carolyn is a Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Cumming School of Medicine, Chair of the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre and holds a Canada Research Chair in Concussion at the University of Calgary. She advocates strongly for a multidisciplinary approach to research and integrated knowledge translation. She discussed with me how a strong multidisciplinary team helps her to stay on top of her game, and she drops a strong quote along the way.
