It’s #MND awareness week 2022.
I want to tell you a story about how the public awareness of MND has changed the playing field of research.
A little over a decade ago. I was speaking with a colleague. We were lamenting the state of MND research in Australia.

Peak lockdown achievement -- the combination of tiny, faint, medieval Latin script and subtle variations of grey blank space made Magna Carta a real challenge, but Cate & I finally managed to pull it off.

Fully vaccinated today! Process was very quick, despite the line of people for a small clinic (and seeing the turnout felt a bit reassuring against today's numbers...)
