The Army’s $3M Anti-Suicide Nasal Spray

Late to the game of promoting my own writing — blame my dad for getting married in a remote mountain region without WiFi — but check out my cover story at The Daily on the Army-funded project that’s investigating an anti-suicide nasal spray. You may have read about it elsewhere, but people in-the-know read my exclusive at The Daily first.

The Army has just handed a $3 million grant to researchers at the University of Indiana’s School of Medicine for the creation of an anti-suicide nasal spray. The project, to be led by Dr. Michael Kubek, an associate professor of neurobiology, is arguably one of the more unusual military efforts to thwart a record number of suicides among active-duty personnel and veterans.
