I’m not sure, and I don’t have the highest hopes…but I’m keeping my eye on it! 🙏 I would love this to happen!
Moderna just announced that the European Commission (EC) has granted approval for their mRNA combination vaccine for the flu + Covid-19 in individuals 50 years of age and older! 💪
Really excited to be at AACR and diving into the latest breakthroughs in cancer! If you’re here too, let’s meet up and talk science! 😊
MS is driven by an immune system that misfires, and one of the biggest breakthroughs came from targeting the B cells involved. Ocrevus works by reducing these specific cells to lower relapses & slow progression. If you want the science behind it, my short video breaks it down! 🧡

NEW DROP 💕
Exemestane is a key therapy in HR+ breast cancer as it lowers estrogen levels at the source. It helps slow/stop tumor growth in cancers that rely on estrogen signaling. If you want a clear breakdown of how this works, watch my latest!

A NEW LESSON! 😇
Taltz is a targeted biologic that zeroes in on a key driver of inflammation in conditions like psoriasis & psoriatic arthritis. It helps calm an overactive immune response to improve skin and joint symptoms. For a quick explainer, watch my new immunology video!

yep that’s exactly what I mentioned in the first sentence of my post! I feel the same way about my own vitamins!
For many people, taking a daily pill may not be simple, which is why long‑acting options like Lenacapavir are getting more attention. By targeting the HIV capsid itself, it blocks the virus through its life cycle. You can learn exactly how it works in my short explainer video!

NEW #breastcancer video! 💕
A shift in oncology: 2 major HER2 antibodies delivered together in a single injection instead of an infusions. Phesgo streamlines treatment through a powerful dual‑antibody strategy. Watch my short explainer to learn how this approach disrupts cancer! youtu.be/xt8rPBntrNI
new video LIVE! 🧡
What if a treatment taken for just a few weeks a year could reshape immune activity for longer? Mavenclad uses an immune‑reconstitution approach that selectively targets lymphocytes, helping reduce MS relapses. Explore my quick video to see how this med works!

brand new video out now! 🥳
Did you know the next wave of weight‑loss science may come from pairing two metabolic hormones instead of relying on one? CagriSema’s dual‑pathway design taps into both GLP‑1 and amylin biology. Check out my new lesson to learn how this combo works.

earlier this week, the FDA approved Foundayo (orforglipron), as the second daily GLP-1 weight loss pill!
this formulation is from Eli Lilly, and I previously broke down how these GLP-1 pills work (below). what do you think of this advancement?

NEW lesson out! 🧪
Formaldehyde is everywhere, from materials to the lab bench, and it’s one of the simplest yet most reactive molecules. Its tiny size + high reactivity explain its usefulness & health risks. In my latest, I unpack how important this molecule is for biology.

new video out! 🥰
Some breast cancers depend on hormones to grow, but what if you could cut off that signal? Anastrozole uses biochemistry to lower estrogen levels, slowing or stopping cancer growth. My short lesson breaks down how one small molecule can have a massive impact!

exciting new video!! 🥳
Lyme disease cases are rising and for the first time in decades, a human vaccine is close to returning. This new Lyme vaccine works in a surprisingly clever way, so watch my latest video if you want to learn the mechanism!

I can’t wait to share this new video tomorrow that goes into depth on the fascinating mechanism behind the new Lyme disease vaccine that is currently under FDA evaluation! 🎉
Parasites survive by controlling their muscles & movement, but what happens when that system suddenly shuts down? Moxidectin interrupts the signals parasites need to function, stopping them in their tracks. See the chemistry behind this drug in my short educational video.

when you see headlines like this in the morning, you know the day is off to a great start! 🫶
What if calming inflammation wasn’t about shutting down the whole immune system, but flipping off just one overactive switch? Skyrizi does exactly that by targeting a key signal that fuels chronic inflammation. Watch my short science video to find out more! 😊
