One of my favourite radio programmes is The Life Scientific on Radio4 with Jim al-Khalili. Yesterday’s guest was Elizabeth Fisher, Professor of Neurogenetics at University College London.

She talked mainly about her work on the genetics of Down’s Syndrome, but at 22 minutes in she briefly mentioned her research into (familial) ALS.
Her biography and publication list confirms this:

If nothing else, the programme illustrates the often slow and frustrating reality of scientific research and the huge amount of painstaking hard work required to achieve even small successes.
