Book NY Oct?
Lori, I'd think it will be nice cool fall weather - with the leaves turning colors in upstate NY.

(I lived in Syracuse for a while...)

Tongue Duh
OOPS - I think the October event in NYC is the 50th Anniversary of Parkinson's Disease Foundation. They are having a symposium plus dinner and I don't know what all. More info on their website.

Default carey (indigogo asked) . . .
Is there really a movement now underway in the scientific community to abandon sham surgery in favor of another control protocol? Or is this question being asked to get information to improve the informed consent process?

no, there's not a movement to abandon present protocol (sham surgery) for another (at least to my knowledge). But we ARE trying to improve the informed consent process. As you pointed out, this is a good thing.

we may need your help as we get into this more.
