"The Research Spotlight series helps bridge the divide between researchers and people with Parkinson, two groups that very rarely meet each other, by allowing them to interact and discuss research.” - Eli Pollard, WPC Executive Director

I am thrilled that @WorldPDCongress will show "Shaking Hands with the Devil" on Tues, Oct 31 @ 1PM ET followed by a live panel discussion. This 13-minute film is a powerful reminder that living w/ #Parkinson's can be taboo in parts of the world. Register https://t.co/LtwwDJpIn5

@lvolpic Tough one. I think you can certainly be friends but not if it requires your daughter to hang w/her daughter. Does she know her daughter is mean 2 yours? Finding a perfect match w/ families is like a unicorn. When my husband & I clicked w/the parents & the kids clicked-very rare.

[eli @Eli_in_Brooklyn]

@_mdbartlett @WorldPDCongress Such good talks and superb Parkinson’s experts! We were lucky to have them on the program.

[eli @Eli_in_Brooklyn]

Love this post by @SaraRiggare that talks about the secret sauce of the World Parkinson Congresses... https://t.co/WM1zIysC1g

[eli @Eli_in_Brooklyn]

@fohkus Thanks, Daniel. The focus of the pa el was to encourage them to pass the National Plan to End Parkinson’s. Rumor has it that it will go up for another vote this week. The quicker we get it passed, that faster we can reap the benefits, like more funding for research.

[eli @Eli_in_Brooklyn]

Preparing for my comments to the Congressional Caucus for #Parkinson’s disease today. A great view for practicing, and an even better opportunity to speak about the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act. Thanks for the invitation @Supernus_Pharma @WorldPDCongress

@ohkathleenkiddo Sending love.

[eli @Eli_in_Brooklyn]

@ohkathleenkiddo Well that is completely unacceptable. Not surprising, and really terrible. I am sorry you went through that experience.

[eli @Eli_in_Brooklyn]

@ohkathleenkiddo We were with you from afar. So much love being sent your way from all over the world.
