PVD History

Rewriting the pulmonary vascular diseases and pulmonary hypertension research history

[PVD History @pvdhistory]

Over the past 60 years, Pulmonary Vascular Disease (#PVD) has become a recognised medical condition. Over that period significant advances have been made in understanding the disease and developing treatments over that period. 1/2 .

This is me! Most of the trick, incidentally, is not getting too wrapped up in your original hypothesis, which was ALWAYS probably going to be wrong. If your experiments don't turn out the way you expected, that's actually good - it's new science. Publish the story you actually have, not the one you wanted.
