Everything is ready for the #GBA1Meeting here in Montreal, at The Neuro, McGill University . This is the first international GBA1 meeting and we are looking forward to amazing talks and presentations! Starting tomorrow!

Great viewpoint provided on need take it easy as #Parkinsons moves towards a biological definition. Defining #PD based upon biology may be important for drug development, but declaring a biomarker "winner" after the first heat is premature. More (better?) biomarkers are coming.

✨🔬 Women in Science Day To all women scientists across the 🌍 - thank you for your passion, innovation, and contributions to the future of Parkinson’s research! Parkinson's Foundation is proud to have supported 139 women scientists since 2016 from 12 countries across 6 continents!

This paper by my colleagues and I underscores the significance of asking people what *they* value as important. Not surprisingly, many find knowledge is very important to them, whether it is claimed to be clinically useful or not.
