Abstract
Begins with a letter written to young neuroscientists in the field urging them not to myopically study any one disease which we happen to have a label for but rather to broaden their horizons if we are ever going to make a dent in any of them. We then talk about a day in which Ben got to shadow Alfonso during one of his clinic days and the takeaways he got from that.

A note on this from Dr. Fasano: “Without the help of fellows we wouldn’t be even close to the productivity we have here. Keep in mind that they are all post-docs, MDs or neurologists in their countries. They have families left behind for a year or two, often young kids, all to pursue their dreams. They’re some of the most motivated doctors on the planet who come to us to learn the skills needed to better treat people in need. We are incredibly grateful for the ones we have but we also know that we will need to continue to train more to keep up with the growing demands these diseases impose on society and try, though fail we often do, to stymie the suffering caused by neurodegeneration.”
