How to get involved in Burning Debates at ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS

It doesn't matter if your an MSer, a MSologist, a nurse or if your just interested. Anyone can get involved in our social media sessions at ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS this year. We will be running two different types of events throughout the conference, Burning Debates and Question Time Hangouts everyday! Even the President of ACTRIMS is excited about it.

How to get involved in the Burning Debates:

The three debated topics will be:

1. The Only Way is Pharma: Academic trials go nowhere 
2. Repair from within or outside in...is transplanting stem cells the best way forward?
3. Early effective therapy is the only way.

If your not attending the conference, you can watch the debates on the conference website. The live streaming link will appear when the debate starts.  If you have any comments or questions then please tweet them to us using #burningdebate as the chair of the debate will be keeping track of the twitter activity. 

If you are attending the conference, come along to a Burning Debate where two experts in the field will debate a hot topic each day. Be warned - you can only vote for or against the motion via twitter (so people watching at home have a fair vote). So, if your a Neuro and not on twitter sign up now!

After each speaker has argued their side and questions have been taken, the Barts MS Blog Twitter account will tweet two tweets: one FOR the motion, one AGAINST. The tweet that has the most retweets will WIN the debate.
