Thanks @fight_pd for inviting me to be part of this. Great discussion with some amazing #Parkinsons researchers
Thank you to everyone who joined us at yesterday's Research Symposium! We had over two hundred online and an auditorium in attendance to hear experts and community members talk about the latest in Parkinson’s understanding and the next steps in the path for a better future.

Researchers have linked mutations in the #Trabid protein to #microcephaly - an incurable birth defect that causes abnormal brain development in newborns and infants. This may pave the way for future treatments targeting neurodevelopmental disorders. https://t.co/HnlcRcsxqd 🧵1/2
