RealTalk MS Episode 170
Guests: Dr. Dawn Ehde and Dr. Heidi Maloni

Joining me this week is Brett Drummond, a scientist in Australia who stepped away from his lab to develop an online resource designed to bridge the gap between the MS patient community and the MS research community. The result of his efforts is MSTranslate. We're talking with Brett about the importance of making MS research easy to understand for people affected by MS, and Brett even shares some insights into the MS research that he finds particularly interesting.

We're also talking about the research team that used human stem cells to create myelin-producing cells in a lab dish in just 3 weeks.

We'll tell you what a University of Washington Rehabilitation Medicine research team learned when they surveyed people living with MS about their level of distress during the first surge of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wouldn't it be convenient if MS progression could be measured by analyzing how you type on your smartphone? We'll tell you about the study that asked that question.

We'll also share new discoveries from the Avonex clinical trial that show MS-related brain atrophy can be predicted 10 years before it occurs.

And as we approach Thanksgiving in the U.S., we're sharing the things that we're thankful for this year.
