@Mike_L_OBrien My nickname!! "Maggie" and "Peggy" never really clicked with me, so for a little while I've been using a nickname my friends gave me based off my middle name instead!

Guess what? I'm on a published paper! Im so grateful to have contributed to this paper with the Prion Research Center at CSU. Joanne, Davin, Ed and everyone else did great work! #PLOSONE: Shedding and stability of CWD prion seeding activity in cervid feces https://t.co/Afh7NkVD5o

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

@HampshireSave @hampshirecolg Thanj you so much!!!!

[Leo Tyer @MLTyer]

So proud that the first paper I've ever been on is alongside these incredible people. Joanne, Davin and Ed have been wonderful mentors for me. Yay for elk poop!!!

The ability to see a doctor when you are sick should not be a luxury for those who can afford it. It should be a guaranteed right for all.

Days since a MBTA subway train caught fire (with me on it): 0. Let’s invest in better public transit infrastructure!

Thanks @BeccaMcLean90. I'd like to give a shout out to some more amazing #WomenInSTEM (who may have done this already but are worth highlighting again). @new_olee @aileenbo @LynneMc59064912 @LisaNicoleMk1 @wee_L_Mcculloch @Mortuseon @GauntLab @MLTyer @M_Goncheva @emilylouise221

Debate continues regarding the fate of #Wyoming's National #Elk Refuge, which has offered supplemental feeding to the region's elk populations for over 100 years, in response to nearby detections of chronic wasting disease. https://t.co/1yjBvPlUmQ #CWD #prions #diseases

@yourlocalcatdad dont want to click the link bc i dont want to drive traffic but how did the reporters get this info anyway?

[Leo Tyer @MLTyer]

A great read about the ongoing work from @cureffi || First results in from our MGH clinical research study https://t.co/Rs7N7WHVXN

I wish autism and IDD researchers would look at and see how their reseach impacted the communities, I wish they stop using that data to hurt us but instead use it to help us. Mental age theory and Theory of mind come from science and that use justified in policy to oppress us.

[Leo Tyer @MLTyer]

@abigail_diack Yes PLEASE!! This just put the biggest smile on my face!! 😁

[Leo Tyer @MLTyer]

Shout out to everyone who continues to let me talk to them about prions nonstop: you are the real MVPs 🤣

[Leo Tyer @MLTyer]

@abigail_diack My dream is to one day is to actually befriend other prion researchers so I can have a group to share all the cool, weird, wild stuff about prions I find and we can geek out together 🤣🤣

[Leo Tyer @MLTyer]

@CM_Pina I feel like they can be esp tricky to explain to people since part of what makes them so odd is how theyre NOT like any other causative disease agent out there! Also, gonna DM you in a moment!
