Description

A look into the mind of Dr. Mike Fox aka Pinky of F3 Roanoke.  Fox, the Director of the School of  Neuroscience at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, shares with us his journey into the world of outdoor adventure and science.  A highly competitive individual, Pinky's pursuits navigate us from the tennis courts of the US Military Academy at West Point to labs in Richmond; from training with the Harvard cycling team to participating on 3 days notice in his hometown Roanoke Ironman 70.3.   Fox shares his insights into the world of concussions, PTSD, and the hope behind scientific research in finding cures and coping mechanisms for brain disorders.  Whether he is at Capitol Hill lobbying parties to continue scientific research funding, stepping back into the tennis world with his daughter, or crushing souls on the F3 Roanoke pitch, Fox is driven to push his and all of our limits.  Enjoy!
