What if there were a ticker running under every Powerpoint presentation showing the names of the people who have died from ALS MND since last year's symposium presentations.

So how fast would that ticker have to run?
Around 133,333 global deaths in a year / 24 hours = around 5,556 names per hour...
Around 5,556 names per hour / 60 minutes per hour / 60 seconds per minute = around 1.5 names per second.
Around 1.5 names per second moving relentlessly through all the scientific presentations and promise... That speeding ticker will be a measure that won't be pleasant to watch. It's time we watched.
