20th Annual Science & Advocacy Symposium

Join us as we return to the Washington, D.C. area where it all started! We’ll gather Scientists, Clinicians, Industry/Biotech, Regulators, Funders and the Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Community to share the latest in SCI functional recovery research and collaborate on the best strategies.
Then we’ll Roll on the Capital to begin our campaign for a National SCI Research Funding bill (no extra cost for third day!)

Today, we’re talking to Dr. David Darrow for a second time. Check out episode 30 for our first discussion back in 2019. David is a neurosurgeon and assistant professor in the departments of neurosurgery and psychiatry at the University of Minnesota.
Many of you will also know that he is a researcher and the primary investigator of the successful and ongoing E-STAND clinical trial, which uses epidural stimulation and optimization protocols for delivering functional outcomes for the SCI community. We discussed the E-STAND trial, how it’s progressing, and highlights from its now eight years of running.
We also talk about the FDA and the quandary of determining what is meaningful in the eyes of research participants, as well as with regulators. And we get into spinal cord stimulation data sharing, the exciting horizon of combinatorial therapies, and much, much more. As you will hear on this call, David is a smart, innovative, forward-thinking ally of the SCI community.

So lucky to have gotten to do a case with two of my mentors at the same time. We performed a research trial case for treatment resistant depression that holds a lot of promise.
CNS 2025 was a success! I am so lucky to get to do the job I do with people who support and inspire me. These are just a few of past and present mentors and friends who have had a huge impact on me ❤️
Thankful for a fun and successful #aans2025 ❤️ especially thankful for the mentorship and support from mentors like @daviddarrowmd@govsmansion and Dr. Park.
@cns_update this year was an incredibly memorable experience. It is amazing what can change in just one year. To go from just an idea and a hope of being seen and acknowledged to becoming an organization that has been met with great support and pride has been incredible.
This year we held a breakfast panel in connection with @womeninnsgy that allowed neurosurgeons within the LGBTQIA+ community to share their experiences and sparked great conversation about how programs can authentically demonstrate their support. It also provided a space where others felt safe enough to be their authentic selves.
We were also able to come together as a community and with our allies to celebrate ourselves and our place in Neurosurgery at our reception. We owe a huge thank you to @stryker_neurosurgical for being not only open to sponsoring this event but beyond enthused to be a part of supporting our organization, both now and in the future!!
We would like to thank all the incredible neurosurgeons and members of @cns_update that have worked to support us and encouraged the work that we are doing. Special thanks to Dr. Chambless, Dr. Nduom, Dr. Williamson and Dr. Rahman!!!
Lastly we would like to thank our incredible Founder and President, Dr. Mendlen for her bravery and dedication to advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals in Neurosurgery. 🧠🌈
