I've been spending time in the #Parkinsons community on #Reddit. It's a great place to ask questions and give answers. Enjoying the more active engagement. (Plus joining other communities, too, like my city and state, and TV shows I like, lol.)

Why not use cycling wheelchairs for Parkinson's and beyond? Check out this video by Okada and colleagues in the Movement Disorders Clinical Practice. No person with Parkinson's should ever be 'left behind.' Love the added exercise component.

It is such an honor to have two of my best friends in the world as literal giants in the Parkinson’s field. Jumping and with a cowboy hat I still can’t measure up to their brilliance. Here is to a new roadmap for Parkinson.

Why is there a crisis approaching for Parkinson's disease? Well, have a look at the formula. The number of cases is exploding and the costs are skyrocketing. Pair that with a decreasing number of available specialists. Key note this morning for the combined Parkinson Foundation/PSG meeting,
