When Tris Dyson lost the use of his thumb in 2022, he had no idea it was the first sign of motor neurone disease (ALS). Just 44 years old, newly engaged, and a new father, his world shifted overnight. But instead of slowing down, Tris leaned into his life’s work—fueling global scientific breakthroughs through prize-driven innovation.
In this episode, Tris shares how he’s turning a devastating diagnosis into a mission to spark the next major medical breakthrough.

This conversation is about resilience, purpose, and why Tris still believes the clock can be beaten.
