Chris Nowinski, whose twitter account you are linking to, is btw a professional wrestler who retired after suffering from post-concussion syndromes. He has since become an advocate for prevention of head trauma in the NFL and other contact sports such as wrestling, and got himself a degree in neuroscience in 2017.
