@TheChiefNerd The FDA literally just approved an anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody treatment that showed clinical efficacy in phase 3 trials. This week. It represents THE most significant breakthrough in Alzheimer’s treatment of the century.

@VPrasadMDMPH As a fellow at the NIH, did you not rely on this funding to present your research at conferences and further your own education/career? Would you have the platform you have today had it not been for the opportunities created by this funding?
