On the Horizon: World Parkinson Congress

Set your alarm clock for Sept. 20-23, 2016, and book your flight (or hop a van) to Portland, Oregon, for the 4th World Parkinson Congress.  It looks tremendously exciting.  The website alone is practically a theme park for the PD community.

Of particular interest to me:

• The abstracts from the last convention in 2013.  There’s enough info to drool over for months!  (Double entendre intended!)
• The call for video entries in the PD video contest.  Let’s put on a show!
• Eating.  According to the congress website, “Portland is very proud of their home-grown collection of beer, chocolates, wine and growing restaurant scene. Portland is also home to the ‘world’s best street food,’ thanks to their 600 food carts scattered all over the city.”

Beam me up and over, Scotty!
