Past Podcast Episodes

One of the most important MS research events of the year is the annual European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS Scientific Congress, usually referred to by its acronym, ECTRIMS.

You've made our podcast episode that followed ECTRIMS the most downloaded episode of 2024. So, this week, I'm revisiting the two conversations that I had immediately after the ECTRIMS conference ended.

Bruce Bebo and Kristine Werner Ozug

In what has become an annual tradition, it's my privilege to sit down with the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo, just minutes after the conclusion of ECTRIMS to get his first impressions of the news and presentations that caught his eye.

This year, I also wanted to bring you the perspective of someone who's living with MS, who attended ECTRIMS for the very first time. So, less than an hour after the conference concluded, I had a conversation with Kristine Werner Ozug. (Full disclosure, Kristine is a member of the RealTalk MS team.)

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

RealTalk MS Episode 383
Guests: Dr. Bruce Bebo and Kristine Werner Ozug

Privacy Policy

The holiday season provides me with an opportunity to indulge in what's become a RealTalk MS tradition. I reserve the last two episodes of the year to revisit the most compelling and important conversations that I've had over the past year. This week, I'm revisiting two conversations I had with two experts on MS and women's health issues.

Dr. Anna Shah and Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl

MS affects women almost 3 times more frequently than it affects men, which should make understanding how MS might impact other women's health issues a priority. Unfortunately, that hasn't really been the case. The good news is we're seeing that situation change and you can expect to hear much more about MS and women's health in the coming year.

This brings me to two conversations that I had this past year when I talked with Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl and Dr. Anna Shah.

Dr. Shah is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Associate Clinic Director of Outpatient Neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Dr. Voskuhl is the Director of the UCLA Multiple Sclerosis Program, she holds the Jack H. Skirball Chair in MS, and Dr. Voskuhl also serves as Faculty Neurologist of the UCLA Comprehensive Menopause Care Program.
