    Michael's bio: In 2001  became the first African American faculty member of the Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences and later went on to become both the first African American assistant director and assistant dean. 
    In 2015, Michael was appointed to the UAB/Lakeshore Research Collaborative — an organization whose primary goal is to promote the health and wellness of people with disabilities. 
    In addition to his more than 20-year career with UAB, he serves as an advocate for the education of those with early-onset Parkinson’s by being as an example of living successfully and productively with the disease.

  • PD INTERVIEW: Fred Manning (DBS) & Author Jonathan Braddock (YOPD Club)
    We lead off with Fred Manning who had DBS surgery nearly 2 months ago, he talks about his experience.
     
    After Fred we have an interview with Jonathan Braddock. Jon talks about his life before and life after his Parkinson’s diagnosis which was roughly a year ago. Additionally, Jon talks about his book called the “YOPD CLUB”. He talks about why he wrote it and the people he interviewed for the book. This is a must read if your newly diagnosed or seasoned PD’ers like me.
     
    Remember to leave a review after you read it, check out this review.
     
    “If ever there was a book to allay your fears and answer so many of your questions after a YOPD diagnosis, this is it. These ten inspirational people demonstrate exactly what every ‘newbie’ needs to know - that they and Parkinson’s can live a pretty normal, productive and happy life alongside each other, but also that it’s ok to have bad days and be scared about the future. Congratulations to William J. Braddock for filling so well a much needed gap in the available reading matter for young onset Parkinson’s people. His intelligence, empathy and straightforward, honest approach shine through.”
