Description | Seventieth monthly installment of our "What A Year!" website project, introducing life science breakthroughs to middle and high school students and their teachers. Most of us recover quickly from such accidents such as falling off a swing or crashing a bicycle, but a blow to the head is no laughing matter. New research by Dr. Charles Wilkinson and colleagues from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Puget Sound Health Care System and University of Washington shows that even incidents that seem minor could have important, long-lasting effects on your health. | |||

This article is an interesting, fast read that can appeal to many students in the class as it references athletics and military cases where concussions can occur. It is a great opener to a lesson on hormones and the endocrine system.

I think this would be an excellent scientific literacy read for my classes. I think it could nicely accompany discussions on cell signaling caused by growth hormone.
