Thank you @TVNaga01 and Kev Brown for a good discussion on @bbc5live today. Sport is good for the brain, but in some cases repetitive head impacts do lead to neurodegeneration. Former athletes across sport can join scoresproject.org, the study to monitor your brain health

This is why initiatives such as #TeamUpSpeakUp by the @ConcussionLF are essential in tackling concussion. Asking players to self-withdraw hasn't worked, shift the paradigm to their mates. @ChrisNowinski1 @annastoDr
A Global Women’s Rugby Survey of 1,600 players found 90% of players would highlight a teammate with concussion but that only around a FIFTH would actually highlight having suffered one themselves. @annastoDr presenting at @RugbySciNetwork hosted by @Worldrugby

Well done to the brave person who caught this on camera and forced @IRFU into making an embarrassing apology. Completely unacceptable that @connachtrugby's women's team was forced to get changed in a rat infested area near bins at Energia Park for a tournament broadcast on TV

Just got sent this Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful that the Connacht women had to get changed with the rats for the #WomensInterpros today I've walked lyrical about this tournament but to see this I'm horrified I'm lost for words at this Equally Saddened & infuriated

Perhaps that’s why @FA have gone into a partnership with @alzheimerssoc ? Won’t cause a fuss won’t speak out !! πŸ’° πŸ’°
That can't be right.

The DCMS inquiry report released today begins with the media focus on dementia among our football heroes. We need your help - if you are a 40 former athlete please join our independent study on brain health. We will monitor your brain. visit scoresproject.org

There are many calls for research today as the DCMS inquiry is released. If you are a former athlete over 40 please visit scoresproject.org to help us understand neurodegeneration associated with sport. We are the only study that will monitor your brain health as you age!
