Our  2012 Scientific Advisory Board, Doug Coulter, PhD (University of Pennsylvania);  Howard Goodkin, MD, PhD (University of Virginia Medical Center); David Prince, MD (Stanford University); Louis Ptacek, MD (University of California, San Francisco); and Ivan Soltesz, PhD (University of California, Irvine) are in Chicago these two days helping us to select the best and most promising research to fund this year. We are so grateful for how generous they are with their time and expertise.  We couldn’t make these decisions without their help, and many others in the epilepsy scientific community who review grants for us.
