Headline of the Day: Explosive Understatement

Today’s Headline of the Day is from a press release issued by New York Medical College. The headline is:

Research findings show brain injury to soldiers can arise from exposure to a single explosion

BONUS: If you know of a study showing that brain injury to soldiers CANNOT arise from exposure to a single explosion, we would love to hear about it.

BONUS: The Neurocritic has some bones to pick with (1) the press release as a whole, and with (2) the way some news organizations reported it.

(Thanks to investigator Zach Messer for bringing this to our attention.)
