This is indeed a great idea Greg, and I for one, fully endorse it. The multi-disciplinary nature of
spinal cord injury research, from the very fundamental and basic science concepts, to the
medical and surgical therapy of acute and chronic spinal cord problems/injury, warrant a
discussion group as proposed. I can think of atleast 15-20 people at our research facility who
will be willing to support this endeavor.
