Are you like me? Excited to see baseball is back, but disappointed that the biggest off season move was to invite formerJersey Gov Cristy to serve on their Board. Would preferred they invest in pitching rather ip than securing bridges and Path access forJersey Market To Citi

Over the next few weeks each candidates gonna try to define Is it permanent his opponent is out of touch and disengaged Fact checkers will be kept busy trying to clean up the spin. it’s videos like this that should define what qualities we Look for to lead the free world.

Joe Biden has a lot of short comings but this is what we need in the White House—empathy for others. I’ve become so numb and disenfranchised with the current administration that I totally disengaged. This clip reminded me that we all deserve better.

This is the power of media.

Our paper “Metformin blunts muscle hypertrophy in response to progressive resistance exercise training in older adults: A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, multicenter trial: The MASTERS trial“ was one of the most read in Aging Cell in 2019.

In the book “Ending Parkinson’s Disease “ suggests through better Enviornmental stewardship, it could reverse the growing number diagnosised. Hopefully sharing the data with our legislators will lead to a clean glass of tab water, and reducing the risk of PD in others.

Does influenza induce α-synuclein aggregation? Yes. Can influenza be the beginning of #Parkinsons? No. The "toxicity" of α-syn is an assumption of the clinicopathologic model. As a near-universal response to biological stress, α-syn aggregates are gone when the infection is gone.

Great overview from Prof. Bill Chan of #Parkinson's disease in #China @VAInstitute & @CureParkinsonsT's LCT meeting. Massive spike in number of cases, estimate that by 2030 there will be 5 million people living with PD in China, nearly equal to the rest of the world combined.

#340B has become a monster, profiting major corporations and hospital systems, far from its purpose of providing the indigent with access to needed medicines.

[Steven DeWitte @rushakin2]

Keep the conversation going. Thanks to those who are looking for Drug Pricing relief to Patients without negative impact on distribution, manufacturing, and R&D.

[Ron Cohen, M.D. @DrRon81]

@matthewherper @Avik @dp_oneill @C_Garthwaite Indeed it does. Your point about trade offs seems to me to be the key one- most drug innovation is funded from drug prices. The issue is how much does society want to allocate to that vs other “goods,” and for what health outcomes.

My favorite part of #WPC2019 @WorldPDCongress is the people you meet, especially in the Book Nook & Poster Hall.
