For those of you who may not have seen this yet, I've included a great interview by Gene Veritas of Michael Hayden. This is a truly enjoyable interview. It's about 30 minutes long so sit back and relax.
Show up at this event and you'll get to meet one of the premier Huntington's Disease researchers in person.

Get together with fellow members, your BC Chapter Board, and the amazing scientists and researchers at CMMT for a day of information sharing and celebration. CMMT tour, AGM, complimentary lunch, and an exciting announcement of a new vision: the Centre for Huntington Disease.
Join Dr. Michael Hayden in celebrating our past and to launch the new integrated centre. For over twenty years, the Huntington Disease Medical and Predictive Testing Clinics have provided resources, services and support to patients and families with Huntington disease. Patients travel from around the world to be cared for in this multi-service specialty Clinic. The newly-named Centre for Huntington Disease (CHD) recognizes the tremendous growth of the Clinics, as well as the current and expected development. The Centre for Huntington Disease (CHD) accurately reflects the four pillars of service and activity: research, predictive testing, medical care, and the HSC Resource Centre.
