The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

On a day like this, it’s important to say THANK YOU to all the science and public health communicators for all you do. Your work will be even more critical in the coming years. Keep going! You are very much needed and appreciated. ❤️

It's been a busy and hugely productive week. Here are some highlights. Really proud and excited.
1) Co-led a #FDA listening session on the DEEs (Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies) where the patient voice was front and center. This was the first time the FDA accepted a DEE panel.

There are nearly 1,000 genes known to cause epilepsy. 800+ of them are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. #rareepilepsy #epilepsy #genetics

A great way to follow a bunch of epilepsy researchers all at once.
Hey #epilepsy research people doing the great migration from the other side! I've just created this starter pack with a few names that I'll update as I get feedback, so please spread the word so we can build a community!

Q: What happens when you overpay for a social media platform, drive away most of your advertisers, alienate half its users, making it worth less than a third of what you paid for it within a year?

A: You get put in charge of government efficiency.
