Science & Advocacy: Working Together Toward a Cure


We invite you to watch and share: "The Parkinson's Community: Science & Advocacy Working Together Toward a Cure"


Earlier this year, the Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) hosted its inaugural Postdoctoral Investigator Poster Session in Washington, D.C., at which 17 researchers showcased their work in the field of Parkinson's research. After the poster session, these researchers joined grassroots advocates from their states in meetings with Members of Congress to fight for Parkinson's research funding. Bringing researchers and grassroots advocate leaders together strengthens PAN's unified voice -- particularly the message that federal funding for Parkinson's research is critical to finding a cure.

Because we know how important it is to continue to bring researchers into PAN's advocacy outreach, we created this video to speak to them about the value of advocacy and how it can help augment their work in the scientific community.
