DESCRIPTION

Scott Johnson, president and founder of the Myelin Repair Foundation, gave this talk on our grassroots solution to the currently very slow and not agile medical research system. He covered the big problems in the current medical research system, why there are hindrances in the current model, the MRF's solution and our hope for finding more "grassroots" and not "top-down" solutions.
