In this episode, Dr. Lauren sits down with Megan O’Boyle, a longtime advocate and parent in the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation community, to talk about why research funding is so essential. Megan shares her journey with the Foundation, how her family helped shape its commitment to science from the very beginning, and the story behind the Shannon O’Boyle Memorial Grant for Neuropsychiatric Illness.

Together, Dr. Lauren and Megan also discuss PMSF’s new fundraising opportunity, Driving Research Breakthroughs, and what it means for the future of research, treatments, and cures.
