My career switch from psychologist to open-science advocate

In 2019, Jenna Keindel came across a research paper that would change her life. The Canadian, then aged 37, found it through a Facebook group of people affected by limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), a condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. Keindel was diagnosed with it when she was 16. The paper suggested that another condition, called anti-HMGCR myopathy, a rare autoimmune disease that causes severe muscle weakness, shared some symptoms with specific subtypes of LGMD and was sometimes misdiagnosed as LGMD.
