Disclosing your MS to your employer is an important decision that can sometimes be tricky and can sometimes lead to unintended consequences. Joining me to discuss some of the things you want to be thinking about when it comes to disclosing your MS in the workplace is a Manager on the Benefits, Employment, and Insurance Team at the National MS Society, Christina Forster.

We're also extending an invitation for you to spend a quick couple of minutes taking the RealTalk MS listener survey…and we're adding some motivation to that invitation by giving you an opportunity to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

And we're inviting you to get up close and personal with some of the most brilliant MS researchers in the world in Part 1 of our two-part special podcast series, Barancik Prize Conversations.

While we're talking about brilliant MS researchers, we're also revealing this year's recipient of the John Dystel Prize for MS Research.

We'll share some of the details surrounding the partial hold that the FDA has imposed on three different Phase 3 clinical trials for a new category of MS disease-modifying therapy.

We'll tell you about a small clinical trial that demonstrated the benefit of telerehabilitation in improving MS-related bladder problems.

And we'll tell you about an upcoming clinical trial for the first MS disease-modifying therapy to be formulated as a nasal spray.

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

Welcome to Part 1 of a special two-part RealTalk MS series highlighting conversations with past recipients of the Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research.

The Barancik Prize is awarded at the annual meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, a meeting better known as the ACTRIMS Forum. Several past Barancik Prize winners gathered at the 2023 ACTRIMS Forum to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Barancik Prize, and I took that opportunity to chat with this remarkable group of MS research all-stars.

Dr. Daniel Reich and Dr. Philip De Jager

Part 1 of Barancik Prize Conversations features the 2014 and 2016 Barancik Prize winners.

Dr. Philip De Jager, of Columbia University, was awarded the Barancik Prize in 2014 for applying powerful analytic approaches to better understanding how genes and the environment interact, with the goal of developing personalized treatments for MS and, ultimately, disease prevention.

Dr. Daniel Reich, of the NIH Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, received the Barancik Prize in 2016 for innovating approaches to imaging MS disease activity, creating new pathways to better treatments.

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