Lisa McCorkell, one of the founders of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative (or PLRC), recently stepped down after five years co-leading the organization. She spoke with Still Here co-host Betsy Ladyzhets about formative Long COVID studies, advocating for federal funding, developing new patient-led initiatives, and more.
The full transcript of this interview is available on The Sick Times' website.
PLRC started in spring 2020, when a group of people with Long COVID connected in an early support group and used their research experience to begin studying the disease.
They published some of the first scientific papers about Long COVID, work that was instrumental in defining the disease and garnering attention from other scientists, policymakers, journalists, and the world at large.
