Huge boarding ticket and even huge-r excitement for this amazing journey and experience in Geneva! (With a layover in Spain, of coure)
Un pase de abordaje grandísimo, y unas ganas aún más grandes de disfrutar esta oportunidad tan increíble en Ginebra! (Claro que con escala en España)
¿Cómo es esa vaina del Youth Leadership Programme de Rare Disease International el cual eligió a Pablo? ¡Mejor contarles antes de que se monte en un avión rumbo a Ginebra!

Friends! A few days ago I was lucky enough to be part of this conversation courtesy of @aaas, @ScienceMagazine, @SciMagWebinars, and @FondationIpsen with some incredible people (it was also in a for-real filming studio which was wild??), and I’d love it if y’all were able to tune in, either at 12 pm EST when it goes live or afterwards when it’ll have been published as well!

It was the people, who made the World Orphan Drug Congress for me (which is why I can confirm that none of those smiles were fake or forced, the whole thing was a delight).
Something about meeting people with different areas of expertise, from all across this globe of ours, with different projects and ideas of interest, yet all working together towards making a better world for people living with rare diseases and all those around that ecosystem. How can one not feel incredibly lucky to get a glimpse of that over just one day?
And by ‘people’ I also mean all those living with one of the many conditions, diagnosed or undiagnosed, with a special support network or a lack thereof, because it is all of those ‘people’ that I could see were the north star and inspiration for the individuals pictured below (and the many more that I got to speak with and learn from). I’m lucky and thankful for Thursday for sure.
(Ok, sappy post over, back to our regular programming)
Nuevo video de #PabloElRaro! Anoche pude hablar con Sergio Beltrán, director médico de @Roche, sobre la experiencia de los pacientes con enfermedades raras. Estuvo riquísima la tertulia, así que disfruten también de ella!
