Big news! I have accepted a position @MTPA_US as a Medical Science Director focusing on their ALS and PD pipeline. With one of only two FDA-approved interventional drugs for ALS, MTPA is truly committed to improving patient lives and I’m thrilled to be joining an amazing team!

@Gabriel_E_VV @WashUNeurology Congrats Gabe! They are lucky to have you! Will you be attending the upcoming International MDS congress in Philly? If so, we should catch up!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be staying at @WashUNeurology for Movement disorders fellowship and pursuing post doctoral research in the Yoo lab! Grateful to have this opportunity! : D

@KPRC2 It is still not accurate @KPRC2!!!!!! Over 500 homes in First Ward are without power and the map says we are fully energized. Is there ANYONE that can provide us with accurate information?! People are dying!!!

We want to know: Is the power status displayed on the CenterPoint outage map accurately reflecting your current situation? click2houston.com/news/local/202…

@KHOU @KHOU @CenterPoint My phone number appears to be blocked when I call the 713-207-2222 number for updates. Calls from another phone go through without issue. Can you please explain why this is happening?

@KHOU It is still not accurate @KHOU !!!!!! Over 500 homes in First Ward are without power and the map says we are fully energized. Is there ANYONE that can provide us with accurate information?! People are dying!!!

Hang in there, Houston. A new CenterPoint map now shows the exact dates to expect the power back on. #khou11 khou.com/article/weathe…

My tweet was quoted in this Newsweek article! newsweek.com/greg-abbott-fe…

After 12 years in Houston, it’s time to go. The derecho and Beryl show our city’s unpreparedness. The lack of transparency on power restoration during a heat advisory proves nothing is being done to weatherize infrastructure. Shame on you @CenterPoint @GregAbbott_TX @DanPatrick

@academic_exit Medical Science Director, Med Affairs in Pharma

In seeking my first industry role, I had no idea that jobs outside of academia have different *job titles* (since in academia, we were all vying for 1 role with 1 title...) Let's show folks what jobs are land-able with a PhD. PhDs outside of academia: what's your job title?

Excited to be attending the @alsagoldenwest 13th Annual California ALS Research Summit and Champions for Cures and Care gala Jan. 20-21, 2023 in San Francisco. If attending, let me know, would love to meet you!

@academic_exit Yes, I make more than 3X as much as I did as a postdoc, and in addition benefits, up to 20% annual bonus and 20% cash LTI

PhDs working outside of academia: do you make more money in your post-academic role than you did in academia? Inquiring minds (of PhDs still in academe) want to know.

@academic_exit Cheeky Scientist: cheekyscientist.com I joined and within two months I landed my first industry job as a medical science director. Many of my friends who also joined had similar success stories!

PhDs who landed industry roles without internships or contract work experience: how did you make the leap? (side note: I'm hosting a panel of PhDs talking about this very topic tomorrow. Attendance is full, but I look forward to sharing the video to dive in further here!)

An oral formulation of edaravone, Radicava Oral suspension, has been approved in Canada for treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. buff.ly/3A4E2nq #ALS #ALSNewsToday #amyotrophiclateralsclerosis #livingwithALS

Real-World Data Analysis of Survival with RADICAVA Press release: mt-pharma-america.com/2022/08/15/mit…

Post-hoc analysis showed slower progression in ALS patients on Radicava (edaravone), including those low FVC values; early start supported. buff.ly/3vmnOnt #ALS #ALSNewsToday #amyotrophiclateralsclerosis #livingwithALS #ALScommunity #ALSadvocacy

This is a game-changer. Congrats to the team @MTPA_US and importantly, thank you to all the people with ALS who participated in the trials. Without them, this would not have been possible! There is still work to do- until we have a cure, we won’t stop.

Real-world data (#RWD) is one way MTPA learns how #ALS impacts patients and their families. RWD can lead to new discoveries that help ALS treatments.

We’re pleased to announce an important update on our development program. Read more here:

I am thrilled to be hosting @MichelleJoLo1 tomorrow at our BCM Neuroscience department seminar! More work is needed to foster an inclusive environment in research but we wouldn't be where we are today without Dr. Jones-London. Let's bring diverse and creative minds to the table!

@constanza343 That sounds like a pretty good problem to have! Congrats!!! 🎊🎉🍾

@SheridadeLeeuw Awesome! Congratulations!!! 🎉🍾🎈
