❌ FALSE: “For 20 years…we were directing Alzheimer’s research to one hypothesis. And any other hypotheses were shut down.” - Sec. Kennedy Over the last decade, less than 14% of new National Institutes of Health (NIH) Alzheimer’s projects focused on amyloid beta as the therapeutic target. 🧵(1/4)

Fellow scientists: If you are going to make broad public pronouncements based on your results, please have someone check your math first. The general population is losing faith in science, and reversals like this are a big part of the problem.

I am so thankful that I came up in an academic environment that valued openness r/t secrecy. I have never worried about discussing my ideas with others, and those discussions have paid off greatly. I feel bad for trainees who learn to be secretive with their ideas - they are missing out on so much!

I’ve always had trans mates since the early 90s, when I was in the first lived experience pilot. It was seen as a threat, and we were utterly loathed, with the whole hospital waiting for us to break down (which, of course, happened). A trans nurse became our one ally. Difference supports difference.
