Prior to Kaplin’s presentation, Little Phoenix coach Craig Edwards will speak briefly about his recent struggle with neurological disease.
This will be a great opportunity for students and faculty alike to hear from a researcher and clinician on the forefront of neurological disease research and to hear what strides are being made in the treatment of MS and TM, as well as to hear Edwards’s difficult but inspiring story.
