This month we welcome Matthew Summerfield to the podcast. Matthew has lived with epilepsy since his first seizure at the age of eleven. Though he was advised early on not to tell anyone about his epilepsy, Matthew has refused to be held back by seizures, studying neurosceience as a college undergraduate, and now pursuing a PhD while working in an epilepsy research lab at the University of Iowa.
