RealTalk MS Is On Right Now!

Join host Jon Strum each week as he breaks down the latest multiple sclerosis news. We’re talking about the amazing MS research that’s currently being done in laboratories around the world — and we’re talking to some of the brilliant neuroscientists who are conducting that research!

We’re monitoring the debate among our lawmakers surrounding prescription drug price transparency, healthcare legislation, funding for new and experimental MS research — anything that might impact your MS treatments.

And we’re talking with MS activists, MS caregivers, and other heroes who strive to raise the bar for those who battle MS every day.

If you’re dealing with multiple sclerosis in your life — as a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend — join us for RealTalk MS.

Episode 87: Robots & MS Rehabilitation with Dr. Maja Mataric



Robots?? Really??? The answer is YES! World renowned robotics expert Dr. Maja Mataric joins us on the podcast, and we're talking about how socially assistive robots could be real game-changers for people living with MS and other chronic conditions, as well as their caregivers.

Dr. Maja Mataric & Friend

We're also talking about the $24.4 million investment by the National MS Society that will support 64 new MS research projects. We'll tell you about the research team at Oregon Health & Science University that believes they have solved remyelination! We'll show you how you can stay cool this summer and how you can get a brand new laptop or desktop computer from the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation…for free!

We're reminding you that there's still time for you to see the video replay of an outstanding progressive MS webinar, and we'll even tell you about the woman living with MS who decided to get her stem cell transplant live on Facebook!

We have a lot to talk about. Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
