From brain to ‘Backyard’: Professor takes invention public
It’s weird how ideas come to light. In the case of Les Kalman, all it took was several bruises, multiple casts and full orthodontic braces.
Collaboration leads to ‘something special’
In a non-descript room of an eerily quiet wing of South Street Hospital, Mandar Jog’s work may look like a game to some. But the outcome could have a tremendous impact when it comes to the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other neurological movement disorders.
