Dissecting ALS Research Articles with Colin Franz, MD, PhD
As is often the case, our ALS community looks to new ALS research studies for hope and solutions in our mission of creating a world free of ALS. But the information in scientific papers is often very hard for non-scientists to decipher.
As part of our ALS Learning Series, Colin Franz, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Neurology at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and Northwestern Medicine, will teach the basics of reading scientific papers with specific examples taken from current ALS clinical research on Thursday, June 24 at 12pm CDT.
This talk will provide you the tools necessary to methodically and effectively read scientific papers and increase your engagement with the ALS research community. Register for the June ALS Learning Series webinar here>>
