Amy & Catherine,
I am requesting that my categorization be changed from "all other" to "news media."
The documents will be used in the course of an assignment for Motherboard, VICE Media's science and technology news site. Motherboard regularly covers head health science and these documents will be used to further that coverage:

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-nfl-should-combat-concussions-with-cannabis
Further, I cover scientific stories that are often related to NIST.
