Help shape MND/ALS research! 🧠 LifeArc’s new survey focuses on tech to improve daily life with MND. Last time, @lifearc1 received 200 responses—thank you! 🙏
📢 If you have MND/ALS, care for someone, or are at risk, your input is crucial. @lifearc1
🪣 The Ice Bucket Challenge was a giant leap forward for understanding ALS/MND. To mark the 10th anniversary of the challenge, we've created a special video. Thank you to @biogen for supporting this video.🙏 https://t.co/d23LkWPjZ7

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the #ALSIceBucketChallenge and take the plunge with ALS Canada! 🧊🎉
Ten years ago today, Aug. 6, to Dec. 31, 2014, over 260k Canadians took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge, raising awareness and $17.2 million for #ALS. Take on the challenge again and tag ALS Canada - or donate today and invest in Canadian ALS research and support Canadians living with ALS: https://t.co/aX18MyRhjq.
Possibly a hot take but can we now officially stop funding & presenting work on poly-GA, GP, GR toxicity, at least in the absence of anti-sense strand DPRs?
@als_now@LorriCav@alsassociation Those companies are making $ off of ALS so they give back more to charitable purpose. It's on organizations to make sure they don't let it influence how they do their work, including pushing back on those companies & being willing to drop those $ if out of line. I hope most do.
@als_now@LorriCav@alsassociation There are many of us in orgs. that actively push back on an influence or bias towards industry who support activities with $. Most of us don't want that either. Your guesses as to how these things are handled just hinder progress.

@als_now@LorriCav@alsassociation Not sure I understand the question. Clene has sponsored some things. BrainStorm has sponsored some things. Honestly most scientists & clinicians who go to conferences couldn't tell you who sponsored what so the likelihood meeting support influences decisions is pretty low.
@alsadvocacy This one is particularly complicated in the use of groundbreaking & pivotal bc they also infused in a person living with ALS. Bottom line, is it worth exploring more? Sure. Have we seen these types of things in G93A mice & n of 1 open label treatment? Yes, many times.
“It’s easy to go and sit in the lab, and get good at science, but unless you can communicate that science there’s no point having done it.”
#MNDEnCouRageUK aims to give #MND#ALS early career researchers the skills to communicate their research to the people it matters most – people affected by the disease.
