We caught up with Don Reed to discuss some of the highlights and frustrations of his work as a patient advocate and why scientists in the field must learn to speak up for their research.

He sponsored California’s Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Act, source of America’s first state-funded embryonic stem cell research, and has been an integral part of numerous local, state and national efforts.

He currently serves as Vice President for Public Policy of the Americans for Cures Foundation.
