** Overcoming Seizures to Pursue a Neuroscience Degree and Help Others Living with Epilepsy
------------------------------------------------------------

This month we welcome Matthew Summerfield to the podcast. Matthew has lived with epilepsy since his first seizure at the age of eleven. Though he was advised early on not to tell anyone about his epilepsy, Matthew has refused to be held back by seizures.

He not only ignored that advice, but went on to become a visible advocate for epilepsy awareness and research, creating fundraisers and awareness events during his high school years, studying neuroscience as a college undergraduate, and now pursuing a PhD while working in an epilepsy research lab at the University of Iowa.
