The Rehabilitation Sciences Institute (RSI) at the University of Toronto just launched its first newsletter. In this inaugural issue, they chose to feature the groundbreaking work being done by our TRANSCENDENT team, with a special focus on Dr. Nick Reed, an RSI faculty member who is leading our knowledge translation activities.
The newsletter feature highlights the key knowledge translation activities for TRANSCENDENT, including, but not limited to, our quarterly newsletter and recorded talks (i.e., Community Concussion Talks and Speaker Series). The article also outlines our Community Advisory Committee's role in supporting all research and knowledge translation activities.

It is these voices that bring life to the work and help us all achieve the impact we want with TRANSCENDENT."
