Steve MacBeth, a three-tour Afghan war veteran, offers a compelling, first-hand account of Canada's involvement in one of the most protracted and most complex conflicts of the 21st century. In his book No names no packdrill. Through vivid and unfiltered interviews with 150 frontline soldiers, this book captures the diverse experiences of those who served. These soldiers share their stories from the front lines of Afghanistan, detailing the challenges, sacrifices, and moments of camaraderie they encountered. The title, inspired by the military expression “no names, no pack drill”—intended to ensure lessons are learned from soldiers' experiences without identifying those involved—reflects the humility and quiet professionalism of the Canadian soldiers, who are culturally uncomfortable with recognition for their service.

Dr Helen Murray - NZ CTE Expert and researcher

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 19, 2024 60:14


Dr Helen Murray joins me for a Coppuccino and we work to through a lot of the myths, rumors and facts about CTE. Dr Helen Murray is a research fellow at the Centre for Brain Research. She is co-PI of the Tauopathy Lab with Dr Brigid Ryan and leads the brain injury and dementia research group. She completed her PhD at the University of Auckland with Professor Maurice Curtis in 2017 and a post-doctoral fellowship with Dr Alan Koretsky at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA in 2020 before returning to New Zealand. Her research explores the biological mechanisms that link repetitive head injuries and neurodegeneration. She has specific expertise in the neuropathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Dr Murray studies post-mortem human brain tissue donated to the Neurological Foundation of NZ Human Brain Bank and uses a novel tissue labelling technique called multiplex immunohistochemistry to label up to 100 proteins on a single piece of tissue. This powerful high-content labelling and analysis approach allows different tissue pathologies to be assessed at a single-cell level using just one tissue section. Dr Murray is also a New Zealand representative in Ice Hockey since 2013 and captained the New Zealand Ice Fernz from 2016-2020. Her research on the link between repetitive head injuries and dementia is closely aligned with her experience as an athlete and her expertise in human neuropathology research.
