Epilepsy Explained

---

When someone has a seizure, too many people freeze—not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know what to do. Seeing a seizure can be scary but it’s not dangerous. I created Epilepsy Explained to replace fear with understanding, empowering everyday people with the knowledge and confidence to act when it matters most. Knowing how to react and keep the person who is seizing safe can really make a difference.

If you want to learn more about neuroscience in general, I write a bi-weekly Substack blog post (the Nerdoscientist) on all of the fascinating things our brains can do. I recommend you check it out!
