These are we call them CED talks and these are like TED-type talks. It's a really like in 60 minutes we plan to have three short yet powerful talks that put forth very compelling ideas regarding stroke research, education, and policy. We normally bring the leaders in the field, either people that have won the major awards conference or people that have made seminal impact in the field. So this year we have three speakers. We have Jeff Saver from UCLA, who is a professor of neurology, associate vice chair focused on research. And he actually won the Feinberg Award in 2012 and he's going to be talking about the revolution from unforeseen but most welcome which is neuromotivation therapies for acute stroke and stroke recovery. And we have Dawn Kleindorfer from Cincinnati who is a professor of neurology and associate dean at university. She's going to be talking about women in medicine and science. And we have Patty Hurd who is an internationally known researcher in understanding the cellular and molecular basis for gender difference in response to experimental brain injury. And she's right now being a professor at the University of Michigan School of Nursing. She won the Willis Award in 2014 and she's going to be talking about teaming and real-time practice of discovery."
