09.24: Brain Storms: The Race to Unlock the Mysteries of Parkinson's Disease

2015-08-24 01:03:52| Powells Books Events Calendar

Seven million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's — with 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the U.S. alone — and it remains an enigma, with doctors, researchers, and patients hunting for a cure. In Brain Storms (Scientific American), award-winning journalist Jon Palfreman tells their story, a story that takes on urgency when he is diagnosed with the debilitating illness. Palfreman chronicles how scientists have labored to crack the mystery, from the earliest clinical descriptions to the cutting edge of molecular neuroscience. Palfreman will be joined in conversation by Holly Chaimov, Executive Director of Parkinson's Resources of Oregon. This event is sponsored by Parkinson's Resources of Oregon.
