In less than a month, leaders from across health care, neuroscience, business and policy will come together in Houston for the Texas Brain Economy Summit. I’m looking forward to joining fellow speakers from @UTMBHealth and organizations across the country for important conversations about how brain health shapes the future of our communities, workforce and economy. I’m proud that UTMB Health alongside Center for Houston’s Future (@FutureHouston) and Project Metis, is helping bring this event to life. I hope you’ll join us June 9–10 at Helix Park as we learn from one another, share ideas and continue building momentum around brain health and economic resilience. Grab your seat, registration is open. utmb.us/fky
