Jason and Matthew talk with Michael Lane (Researcher at Drexel College of Medicine) and Jake Chalfin (SCI advocate and chair of the PA Spinal Cord Advisory Research Council,) as we continue with part 2 of our series on the experience of SCI community consultants in research labs. This discussion continues our exploration around the exciting and unique nature of this relationship and its impact on the research process.

If you missed part 1 with Murray Blackmore and Nancy Nicholas, you can find it here (https://u2fp.org/get-educated/curecast/episode-58.html).
