Vitality - March
Hello,
Welcome to the March edition of Vitality.
This month we celebrate Dietitians Week and share news on this year’s contributions of MS research through MS Australia.
Until the next edition, take care.
This Month in Research
We caught up with Dr Onno van der Groen from Edith Cowan University to talk all things Mindpod – a rehabilitation video game-based technology.
MSWA has a long and proud history of contributing increasing levels of funds to support MS research and over recent years for broader neurological research efforts as well.
Researchers are working around Australia and the globe to better understand neurological conditions and their causes, seeking new or better treatments and ultimately, cures. Get further details on current research projects and exciting discoveries in the field of neurological research.
