Digesting Science - BARTS Health

This website will teach you about MS (Multiple Sclerosis).

The aim of this website is to tell you about multiple sclerosis (MS) in a simple, fun way. The website and activities have been designed specifically for young people to watch, listen and get involved in.
Digesting Science is a website and set of activities to improve your knowledge and understanding of MS so we can all ask questions about what is happening inside the body of someone with the condition.

We know that science is filled with big words that are confusing, and sometimes even scary - so we have tried to break down MS into key pieces of information that you need to know.

The Digesting Science project also consists of an educational course for children with a parent with MS. Children can come and learn about the science behind the condition from researchers from the Neuroimmunology Group at Queen Mary, University of London.

Launched in February 2013, the course aims to empower and equip young people with the knowledge to deal with the issues of having a parent with MS. The course is open to children of patients of Barts Health NHS Trust and we are extending the course for patients of UCLP.

About the scientist authors

We are a group of scientists who research MS at Queen Mary University of London based at the Blizard Institute in Whitechapel, east London.

You can read more about our research on our other website - although it is not as nearly as fun as this one.
