When assistant professor of communication Amanda Cooper was in graduate school, her grandparents began to decline. She watched her large family, comprising of her father, his nine siblings, and 50 of her first cousins rally around her grandparents. Because their home was in the Idaho woods, near Yellowstone National Park, their distance from the hospital meant they needed round-the-clock care. "It's like a crazy storm hits your family," she says.

More than 1 in 50 people in this country have an unruptured brain aneurysm. Every 18 minutes, one of those aneurysms will rupture, often leading to death or permanent neurological damage. For many, the trauma may initially present as an intense headache, often ignored until it is too late. For those individuals who do seek medical treatment, more than 25% will be misdiagnosed. Most aneurysms are treatable, though positive outcomes require early intervention.

You’re new to UConn. What made you decide to come here? I know the previous director, Avinoam Patt, quite well, and it was a big draw that I’ve spoken to him throughout the years and he always raved about UConn. So that made it an appealing position to consider. After years of teaching at a small liberal arts college, I was also drawn to the new challenges and opportunities of working at a large research university.
