Breakthrough T1D CEO Aaron Kowalski, Ph.D., sits down for a conversation with Katie Beth Hand, a participant in the University of Chicago's clinical trial testing Eledon's tegoprubart. Tegoprubart is used as an alternative to standard immunosuppressants to help prevent transplanted islet cells from rejection in people with type 1 diabetes.

📍Middle Tennessee State Veteran’s Cemetery This morning, cars lined the streets as hundreds of strangers gathered to honor Lonnie D. Wayman, a Navy veteran with no known family. What an incredible display of patriotism and true Volunteer spirit. God is good! 🇺🇸

Seriously good news for military families and for the country We got some actually good news for military families, which is something I take personally. This supports force retention and recruitment, which is a serious national security thing right now. linkedin.com/pulse/seriously…

A beautiful outcome from an unfortunate play. Andrews is an amazing advocate for T1s. Cool to see the #BillsMafia have grace as they move on to next week.
In an effort to support Ravens’ tight end Mark Andrews following a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills, #BillsMafia has come together to raise over $80.4k (and counting!) for Breakthrough T1D. Thank you to everyone who has donated, and thank you, Mark, for continuing to be an incredible T1D champion!

Network TV here we come! @operationsong recently filmed an episode of Hometown Heroes with The Design Network and the country superstar duo @MaddieandTae. We were honored to be selected by Maddie & Tae and even more honored to have our office and writing room renovated. We dreamed of a space worthy of veteran’s and their families’ stories and now thanks to The Design Network we have it! Episode airs December 12th! #Veterans #songwriting #renovation #tv

Today, we pause to honor and remember the service members and civilians who lost their lives during the attack on Pearl Harbor 83 years ago. Let us reflect on the lessons of history and pay tribute to those who served our nation with courage and honor. defense.gov/Multimedia/Exper…

Thank you to all of our donors and supporters in 2024! @operationsong will not stop until every veteran has an opportunity to share their story through song.
#GivingTuesday may be over but our veterans and their families need support all year. Please consider supporting a veterans song today. #veterans #songwriting

Pretty significant shift for the VA here. Eager to see the results of the study as veterans deserve to heal regardless of the method

If you’re a veteran and you’ve never applied for VA benefits, please consider doing so. Any disability you live with from your time in service can be connected. The process can be challenging, but that’s why there are over 20,000 VSO’s nationwide to serve you and help for free.

Great to see a member of congress take the time and floor to recognize the service of a veteran. Thanks Sir, and thank you Mr. Phelps for your service. Greatest Generation!
Corporal Phelps earned four battle stars and received a citation from President Roosevelt for his service during the Siege of Bastogne. He will turn 100 years old in early 2025, and I'm honored to name him TN-02's Veteran of the Month.

Respect for honoring our heroes today so well! Next year we gotta get a flyover though. Call me. I’ll make it happen.
Today we are playing in honor of CW3 David Stanley and CW2 Natalie Wamsley @TAPSorg

Amazing recognition for an Airman instrumental in the protection of innocent lives. 6 intercepts in one flight is crazy!
