New season alert! Chapter One introduces us to our hero, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey. We join her as a particularly dense New Drug Application lands on her desk. The drug is thalidomide and if she approves it, the results will be catastrophic. https://t.co/GmQp3BQBMX

The next big crisis that would confront the FDA was thalidomide.

The story of thalidomide is amazing, scary, incredible, and very complicated. I HIGHLY recommend the book 'Wonder Drug' by @jvanderbes if you want to do a deep dive

2 members of USTS, @LeslieMink1 & Paul @P_L_Koneczny are featured in this article, honoring Frances Kelsey for Women’s History Month. The fight continues for recognition, assistance, & justice to the 100+ survivors of this drug in the United States today.
