...taking it back, I'm taking it back, taking back my life

[john smith]

Steven;

Thank you for doing this. It helps me to know what to look for when I arrive. I am interested in being there both days now. I hope to see you.

John

[Steven Edwards]

You're welcome, John. Sadly, I'm not going to be able to make it to Neurotrauma this year, so I will just wait for the abstracts and comments from those who do attend.

There may be some abstracts that interest people that aren't listed above. The full listings for session one and session two are available for those who want to take a look.
