    Surfing for Stem Cells (Episode 112)

    This is the first in a two-part series covering the role of stem cells in spinal cord injury with Dr. Alina Garbuzov. Along with the experience she brings as a person living with an SCI, Alina is a researcher, working in the Mark Tuszynski Lab at the Center for Neural Repair at the University of California, San Diego. Today's conversation is part one, where we introduce Alina and learn about her... More info: https://u2fp.org/get-educated/curecast/episode-112.html

    By the Numbers (Episode 111)

    Today we’re talking with Dr. Jen Dulin from Texas A&M University. Dr. Dulin is a spinal cord injury researcher, but this discussion is a little different as it's not about the active research she’s doing in her lab. Instead, we discuss a project that U2FP pitched to Jen a couple years ago: could we do an analysis on the last 15 years of spinal cord injury research funding trends, themes, and categories, so we can understand - in detail - what's happened over that time period. Dr. Dulin happily said yes to our idea, and we then incorporated several people with SCI to help her with that project. And the data we’ve helped her compile so far looks to be...

    Taking Charge After Discharge (Episode 110)

    Today we are talking to Arash Bayatmakou and Dale Hull, the organizational heads of NorCal SCI and Neuroworx, respectively. NorCal SCI is a resource non-profit serving the SCI community of northern California. Neroworx is an outpatient rehabilitation center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main focus of our discussion is the lack of access to outpatient rehabilitation after SCI and the creative collaboration these organizations have crafted to address it. We also chat about their upcoming symposium, which aims to find solutions to the rehab crisis. This conversation is a great example of how the SCI community can identify creative solutions to the problems that affect all of us with lived experience of this injury.
