Sour Bros is open for business! Pink, classic and their signature @SourPatchKids (lemonade, with a #sourpatch sugar rim, topped with candy). Proud of Lucas and Andrew for their entrepreneurial spirit and crushing it! #marketing

Behind every breakthrough is a team of scientists who challenge the status quo. With bioelectronic medicine, @KevinJTraceyMD and his team are transforming care for patients with a range of conditions — using electricity instead of drugs.

Watch my conversation with Dr. Tracey: youtube.com/watch?v=CAVoei…

NEW podcast episode is up! "Dr. Kevin Tracey — Stimulating The Vagus Nerve to Tame Inflammation, Alleviate Depression, Treat Autoimmune Disorders (e.g., Rheumatoid Arthritis), and Much More" Kevin J. Tracey, MD (@KevinJTraceyMD), is president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, a pioneer of vagus nerve research and author of the recent book, The Great Nerve: The New Science of the Vagus Nerve and How to Harness Its Healing Reflexes. His contributions include identifying the therapeutic action of monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies and discovering the specific reflex control of immunity by the nervous system, called the “inflammatory reflex.” These discoveries launched the new scientific field called bioelectronic medicine, which investigates the therapeutic applications of vagus nerve stimulation to cure disease. Dr. Tracey, a neurosurgeon, pursued studies of inflammation after the mysterious death, from sepsis, of a toddler who was in his care. His lab has since revealed molecular mechanisms of inflammation and identified the use of vagus nerve stimulation to treat it. An inventor on more than 120 US patents and the author of more than 450 scientific publications, he is among the most highly cited scientists in the world. He co-founded the Global Sepsis Alliance, is the author of Fatal Sequence, and is a national and international lecturer. Please enjoy!

After seeing the recent @JamesGunn #Superman movie, I had one thought … the Man of Steel really needs a good publicist. Thanks @PRNews for publishing my fun, but hopefully informative piece! #PR #mediarelations ➡️ prnewsonline.com/superman-just-…

Kevin Tracey's authoritative look at the vagus nerve and its healing potential is comprehensive and compelling, cutting through the hype #Echobox=1747114697" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/mg2663…

@ashleycapoot @CNBC Congrats!!

Excited to share I’ve been promoted from Associate Reporter to Reporter @CNBC! Many thanks to everyone who has supported me and read my work so far. I’m still covering health tech and breaking tech news 👩‍💻 Get in touch at ashley.capoot@nbcuni.com or on Signal at ashleycapoot.22!

@ravindranize Awesome! Should check out @KevinJTraceyMD his new book and how #vagusnerve stim and other tech to prevent infla-aging

Professional news: I’m joining The New York Times to report on longevity, aging and brain health for the next several months. I’m thrilled to be on the Well team, whose reporting I’ve admired for so long. Reach me at mohana.ravindranath@nytimes.com with news tips and ideas!

“…hear me out, he’s an actual seal.”

I’m pleased to announce my new book, “The Great Nerve.” It reveals how recent discoveries have unleashed the remarkable potential of the vagus nerve to heal, giving new hope for patients with chronic inflammatory conditions – through technology, not medication.

@missanabeem @statnews Sorry to hear!

In a less-than-ideal turn of events, I was affected by the layoffs @statnews upon returning from maternity leave. I have loved my time at STAT and am heartbroken, but here: able and willing to work, open to all opportunities. Find me at annalisa.merelli@gmail.com!

@camaldarelli @inversedotcom @elanaspivack @salazar_elin @KionaSmith07 So sorry!

After nearly 3 years as the Senior Science Editor @inversedotcom I was laid off today, along with my entire science team. Ran 12 miles in Central Park to recalibrate. I don’t know what’s next but for now, consider hiring my stellar squad! @elanaspivack @salazar_elin @KionaSmith07

🏆 We are honored to have not one, but two inventions from the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research recognized by @TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024 list. “This best-in-class innovative work inspires all who are working to advance science and medicine in the hopes of helping patients who need it most,” said @KevinJTraceyMD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes.

@statnews @NorthwellHealth So proud!

New moms and surgical patients are among those who could benefit from Carlos Bravo-Iñiguez’s work to stop fatal bleeding. Meet one of the selections to the 2024 #STATWunderkinds here: trib.al/dF4SzTP @NorthwellHealth
