My latest ‘Devil is in the detail’ post on the interpretation of #als #mnd trial statistics and other challenges. This one was prompted by the recent criticism of a paper led by Sheffield University published in late 2024. https://t.co/jtj7n18R26

#MND #ALS genetic testing is a complex subject both technically & perhaps more importantly whether to have testing if diagnosed or have a family history. What are implications for you/your family? New tools from Sheffield & Leeds Unis might help? (1/2) https://t.co/WFIP4QWKiN

Please sign/share this petition. Let’s get 10000 to force government response. Patients with #mnd #als will die this winter if respiratory compromised if they don’t get the option to have free vaccination. We need to get mad & in-compassionate policy reversed. @wesstreeting
