Show notes
This past weekend, 8,000 MS research scientists and clinicians gathered virtually for the joint meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis and the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis. Known as ECTRIMS, this year's conference was appropriately re-branded as MSVirtual2020. We're talking about great presentations on the MS prodrome (and we'll explain what that is and why it's important), when it might be time to discontinue MS disease-modifying therapies, some encouraging progressive MS clinical trial results, the new number for global MS prevalence, and more! We have a lot to talk about. Welcome to MSVirtual2020!
