利益声明

VS works as an academic neurologist, providing medical consultation on cases of dementia, including prion disease. This falls within the scope of her role so no extra specialised payments are received. VS also receives grants, held by the University of Alberta, to research prion disease. The grants support equipment, personnel salaries and lab supplies, but provide no personal financial support.
