Epilepsy impacts the brain in various ways, causing seizures and other confusing symptoms. At Ionis, we’re working hard to make sense of this condition and bring some relief to those living with it. #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth
Congrats on the new gig at Jnana Therapeutics! @NickJBrandon73 ... finally leaving big pharma for the good life of biotech.
Great advice for biotech entrepreneurs also.

This is something we all struggle with when your child has a rare disorder. Sure, I want treatments. I want my daughter to have what all girls her age do. But she’s also perfect just as she is. You can hold both truths.

There has been lots of criticism of $BIIB and I won't refute it BUT it is important to highlight their boldness and dedication to work on difficult CNS diseases that most other companies have run away from. We must not be discouraged.

Great team effort on this @Health_Affairs study that we believe shows we are still in the midst of a “validation phase” of digital health: Kyan Safavi @MGHMedicine, @simoncmathews1 @HopkinsMedicine, @DBatesSafety @BrighamWomens, Ray Dorsey @UofR
Digital #health companies have minimal impact on disease burden & #healthcare costs according to a new study. The findings indicate the importance of building products/services that provide value for high-cost, high-burden patients. bit.ly/2AzXGsS @adambriancohen
