"What I would also like to see is the medal raise further discussions around #CTE,’’ added Amanda [Paul Green's wife].
"We can’t lose another life like this because it’s just devastating.
“I still have days where I can’t believe we’re where we’re at.
“A day doesn’t go by where I just wish I knew then what I now know about CTE.
“I didn’t even know CTE existed."

In today's news we at the #AustralianSportsBrainBank are calling for more professional National Rugby League (NRL) players to pledge their brains for science. Understanding #CTE can only be done through post mortem analysis. The late Paul Green was suspected that he had mental illness, but this was not the case (despite having symptoms of mental illness). A reason why we need more funding and support for this work. #Science #Research #ChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy #Neuropathology
