Episode 30: Dr. Matthew Miles & MS Research Australia

We have a lot to talk about in this podcast episode! First, a big announcement...the RealTalk MS Podcast has its own Amazon Alexa Skill! If you already own an Amazon Echo, Dot, or any Alexa-enabled device, you can access all sorts of convenient features for listening to RealTalk MS! (And if you don't yet have an Alexa-enabled device, this might be one more reason to get one!) My guest on the podcast is Dr. Matthew Miles, the CEO of MS Research Australia, the largest non-profit organization dedicated to funding, coordinating, and advocating for MS research in Australia. We're talking with Matthew about some of the amazing research collaborations that MS Research Australia is driving in Australia and around the world. (NOTE: During our conversation, Dr. Miles references the MS Research Australia website as "www.msra.org". The correct website is www.msra.org.au. Sorry for the confusion!) We're also talking about the results of MS research studies that were announced at the just concluded American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting. These are studies that you need to know about!
