UT Austin Professor Honored for Ukulele Therapy Program

Let's end 2025 on an up note, viz, this story about UT Austin assistant professor Dr. Carolyn Phillips, who recently received a 2025 Nightingale Award honoring achievement in multiple sclerosis nursing. Phillips' program is "Music-4MS",  a 12-week, ukulele-based cognitive rehabilitation intervention to enhance cognitive outcomes for people with multiple sclerosis. 

Hero.

From KXAN:
“It’s an accessible instrument, it’s affordable, and people with all levels of ability can hold it, whether they’re in a wheelchair or not,” Phillips said. “It seemed like a perfect instrument to bring in to improve cognition.”
