A Fun, Challenging Game – For A Good Cause!
Today Posit Science launched a new Facebook application called The 60 Second Brain Game. Some of you may have already played it on the Posit Science site, but we encourage you to play on Facebook too. Why? Because it’s a great way to challenge your friends and family to see who can get the highest score. And, each time you play on Facebook, $1 is donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Wounded Warrior Project is an organization dedicated to supporting injured service members on their road to recovery, including those suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of battle. We feel that this organization is a great match with our mission to promote brain health for all. While our products have yet to be clinically proven to help TBI, we have had a number of folks write in with their own personal stories on how Posit Science products have made a tremendous difference. One Wounded Warrior who has been greatly helped by using Posit Science software is Iraq vet Steven Schulz. You can read his story here.
On a personal note, my younger brother Captain Kenny Crowley of the US Army is lucky to be alive after his time in Afghanistan. Kenny’s humvee was blown up (on two separate occasions) by hidden IEDs while in the Southern regions of the country. He escaped without any traumatic injuries, except, of course, the kind that leave scars no one can see. However, he lost a number of his friends and fellow soldiers in those incidents, and I can only be thankful that I did not lose my brother.
So please play the game, support Wounded Warrior Project, and share your scores with your friends. Wishing you the best in brain health!

I have tried to play the game but keep getting redirected. I am in French Polynesia so will wait until I am on a faster line.
