  • Very informative!

    Fantastic informative episodes. I love that they are constantly letting people (with PD and without) know about the studies available and how you can participate!

    Sometimes the webinar audio is a bit garbled, but it doesn’t take away from the content.

    Keep it up guys! You ROCK! 🤗
