Honestly sick & tired of constantly changing rules for 'Other Support' & Biosketch documents from NIH. Just freakin stick to one format and get it over with. Future NIH Director & university heads who stream line these processes should win a Nobel Prize.

One reason why rare disease families are now pioneering their own therapeutic searches is because the scientific gatekeeping hasn’t delivered answers. Think about what gets funded, what people work on, and how data is hoarded until that sweet sweet publication

I’m at a muscular dystrophy conference and ppl in the Hilton Hilton Newsroom thinks the handicap cubicles should be the first option! I don’t think there is hope for this world if ppl here don’t get it here!🤦‍♂️ #MDA2023

Great to see Matthias Lambert, PhD Alyson Fiorillo, PhD Marshall Hogarth and other next generation muscle disease research leaders feature in Genetic mechanisms session at #MDA2023 Muscular Dystrophy Association

Yass! Operation warp speed for rare diseases proposed by Peter Marks (CBER, FDA) #mda2023 NIH Funding Dr. Monica M. Bertagnolli take note rare disease community are sick of being patient .. your inefficient funding cycles and processes don’t cut it in the information age!

My friend Conner Curran is 12 and he’s one of my heroes. He lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and advocates for kids like him. He helped convince me to bring $2m in federal money to Connecticut for research on muscular dystrophy.

I was so glad to see him yesterday.

We as academics talk about so many reasons why we hate our job. Here, tell me why you love your job. Me, I love the autonomy in scientific freedom and impact I can have on the lives of scientists. They bring me so much joy to do.

Dr. Michael D. L. Johnson Freedom and privilege to contribute to new discoveries and to the training of the next gen!
