We can do this.

Technological improvements/price reductions in everything from computers to microscopes means that we have or can get or can make the equipment to do proper science. In particular, it means we can improve our quality of life.

Things I'm looking at:
- hands off 24/7 measurement of Parkinson's symptoms.
- tremor reduction through negative feedback to electrical activity in the arm;
- measurement of levodopa content of foods.

What are other people working on?

If you're not involved in something, why not?

(In my opinion, the only good answers to this are that you're so debilitated by PD that you don't have the energy to do anything other than looking after yourself and your family and keeping your job; you're fully committed to support and advocacy work.)
