Matt's Presentation

This is just a brief post on Matt's excellent presentation made at the last TEAAM meeting. The topic was vaccines and their (non)connection to autism in children. Matt did a great job presenting the whole issue, from it's start with a fallacious article that tried to link the MR vaccine to autism, all the way to the recent developments in the medical discipline to correct the damage done by the article.
Without going into the details that took a meeting to cover, the night was a successful one with a healthy bit of discussion between the members both on the topic and on autism in general. We can only hope our next speaker will be able to stand up to such high expectations!

Marie and Jessica engaged in intense discussion before the meeting.

Marie kicked the party off with a brief introductory discussion on autism in general for the new members.
