Project Raptor seeks participants in research involving service members
Researchers at UNM and the Mind Research Network are seeking more participants for an ongoing study that will look at memory and attention issues associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veteran and active-duty service members.
The study was temporarily halted last year due to the pandemic. Researchers are interested in speaking with U.S. service members who were involved in combat operations or support positions (stateside or deployed) after 2002 who are between the ages of 18-55, with or without PTSD.
Those interested in participating in the study should contact Andrea Rodriguez at 505-221-6671 or email projectraptor@unm.edu. Individuals who are interested should also mention Project Raptor in their inquiry.

Josh Kerr, a former All-America runner at the University of New Mexico, ran the fastest-ever outdoor 1,500-meter time on U.S. soil, 3 minutes, 31.55 seconds, at the Stumptown Twilight meet in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday.
Kerr, 23, competes professionally for Brooks Beasts. He won the race and broke Rashid Ramzi’s 3:32.34 from 2006. Kerr blew away his competition, winning the race by a little more than four seconds.
A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Kerr set a 1,500-meter NCAA record of 3:35.01 in 2017, a mark that since has been broken. According to Running magazine, the Olympic standard for the 1,500 is 3:35.00, and Kerr likely has solidified a spot on Great Britain’s Olympic team for Tokyo.
