2019 was a big year. The year of the Mueller report. The American college admissions scandals. Brexit. But it was also the year the US Women's team won the World Cup, and lobbied for the equal pay of women and men in sports. It was the year of NMO, in which several pivotal trials showed benefit of disease modulating therapy in this condition. The year Will Smith played Genie in Aladdin.

2019 was a great year. And as we wrap up 2019, this week's episode includes some of the highlights. Enjoy!
