A Clarkson University professor is the only U.S. member appointed to an advisory board looking at the sociology of acquired brain injury.
Stephen Casper, a professor of history and the associate director of the honors program will serve on the UK based Wellcome Trust-funded grant on the sociology of acquired brain injury and neurodegenerative disease.

I really hate lizards,â and I was like, âNo, I just need a lizard.â
