  Motivated by the possible experimental opportunities to test quantum gravity
via its effects on high-energy neutrinos propagating through space-time foam,
we discuss how to incorporate spin structures in our D-brane description of
gravitational recoil effects in vacuo. We also point to an interesting
analogous condensed-matter system. We use a suitable supersymmetrization of the
Born-Infeld action for excited D-brane gravitational backgrounds to argue that
energetic fermions may travel slower than the low-energy velocity of light:
\delta c / c \sim -E/M. It has been suggested that Gamma-Ray Bursters may emit
pulses of neutrinos at energies approaching 10^{19} eV: these would be
observable only if M \gsim 10^{27} GeV.
