Episode 331: Becoming a Donor to the National MS Brain Bank with Dr. Claire Riley

This is the week that a lot of us make resolutions for the coming year. And I'm hoping that after you hear my conversation with Dr. Claire Riley, many of you will resolve to become donors to the National Multiple Sclerosis Brain Bank. Resolving to donate brain and tissue to the National MS Brain Bank is a new year's resolution that goes far beyond the standard eat better and exercise more promises that so many of us make to ourselves every year. It's deeply meaningful, profoundly personal, and, as Dr. Riley describes it, it's a heroic step in choosing to play an important role in curing MS. We're also sharing the details about a partial hold that the FDA has placed on another clinical trial for an experimental MS disease-modifying therapy. And we'll share some potentially disturbing news about how artificial intelligence is being leveraged to deny patients medically necessary care. We have a lot to talk about!
