World Parkinson Day
Yesterday (April 11th) was World Parkinson Day in honor of the scientist who first documented the "shake palsy", James Parkinson who was born on April 11th, 1755. Renowned PD blogger Frank Church has assembled a very thorough timeline of Parkinson's disease research and development. He has made the timeline available as a Powerpoint presentation that you can download by clicking HERE. The presentation is very informative and helpful in showing the accelerated pace of trials and research. Click HERE to see the original blog from Frank.
