Do you have multiple sclerosis (MS) or are you the family member of someone with MS? Dr. Marrie, a researcher at NS Health, is doing a research study to find out how future MS research should take account of equity, diversity and inclusion. For more information: msresearch.ca/study/priori...

After offering a graduate Neuroepidemiology course for a few years in the mid 90s, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to offer a much updated version in Winter 2026 (Jan to April). Planning is underway. Stay tuned for updates.

Thank you Minnesota Reformer for running this piece. As I said, what we have has taken decades to build, and if it is broken, it will not bounce back.

Several studies for a CDC journal were purged without explanation before a judge’s order restored them. That's unacceptable.
