Drug Monkey, your tweet is irresponsible and uncalled for. We've been hosting this at SFN since 2008. Have you attended? Pretty sure I've never seen you there or you'd know DEI is at the heart of all we do*. Pick on people that aren't trying to do good. *NotAllWhiteWomen

Drug Monkey PWN was founded in 2007 to support all women in science and we've been doing that for the past 15 years under that name. As postdoc co-founders, we were grappling with things like sexual harassment, scientific bias and negotiating for what we're worth. Everyone has always been 1/

Marina Courtney Miller, PhD Drug Monkey I understand the defensiveness, Courtney Miller, PhD has dedicated a lot of time and effort to DEI, through PWN and outside of it. The comment from Drug Monkey is valid; we will reflect on it and improve. It could also have been delivered differently to really encourage discussion.

It happened. Today, U.S. FDA granted accelerated approval for Tofersen. This is a huge day for the entire ALS community and, in particular, the families who have SOD1-ALS. Today, they finally have some hope. fda.gov/drugs/news-eve…
