🆕 SAMHSA proposes update to federal rules to expand access to opioid use disorder treatment and help close gap in care. Read more ⤵️ fal.cn/3uoJF
Great news from @DrGupta46 on how @HHSgov is expanding access to a life-saving medication that can prevent death from opioid overdose. Medication to prevent deaths from overdose and medication for #OpioidUseDisorder are absolutely vital to combating the opioid epidemic.

Thanks @ReginaLabelle for bringing attention to such a serious issue. The evidence of racial disparities in access to opioid treatment is staggering and it’s imperative we find solutions so everyone can obtain the quality treatment options they need and deserve.

It’s encouraging to see how @MassBio is expanding access to career training for #lifesciences! It’s critical to break down barriers and make learning opportunities available for anyone interested in joining the field.
Our training center in Dorchester and its fast-track programming is being purposefully built to address barriers to entry into #lifesciences careers. We're partnering with @UMassBoston, @WPI, @MCPHS and industry to craft the learning tracks. Learn more: massbio.org/news/recent-news…
Loved reading this inspiring Q&A with @JBoorstin and @ShelleyZalis regarding the superpower skills of #women leaders. It’s encouraging to learn how using empathy, vulnerability and gratitude inspires greater D&I and to see how it is benefiting women-led businesses overall.
So grateful to do this interview with @ShelleyZalis the CEO of @femalequotient for @Forbes Empathy, Vulnerability and Gratitude: This Essential New Book Reveals the Superpowers of Female Leaders via @forbes forbes.com/sites/shelleyzali…
Thanks @levfacher for highlighting Dr. Nora Volkow’s call for expanded access to medications for #OpioidUseDisorder. People with opioid use disorder need more #recovery support and increasing access to treatment options is a pivotal step towards long-term solutions.

People living with #OpioidUseDisorder deserve accessible care, which is one reason why we are developing oral weekly treatment options at @LyndraInc. I’m thrilled to see how states across the U.S. are mobilizing to improve treatment systems and support.
107,000+ Americans died from an overdose in 2021.
Some states—like Kentucky, Missouri, Rhode Island, and Alabama—are tracking and measuring an array of data to help improve #opioid use disorder care and save lives. pew.org/3fKESyJ
Awesome article! We still have work to do, but it’s great to see the norm is changing and the #WomeninSTEM who have always played an important role in the field are being seen and celebrated.
What does a scientist look like? Children are drawing women more than ever before 💜 science.org/content/article/…
A growing number of #malaria outbreaks in African countries has heightened the call for new prevention solutions.@LyndraInc is working to develop a biweekly oral delivery option of ivermectin to decrease malaria #transmission where it’s needed most:

Happy to retweet and join #MedTwitter in advocating for effective treatment options for people with opioid use disorder. @LyndraInc is doing its part by developing an oral weekly levomethadone and oral weekly buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.
Prescribing buprenorphine for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) has been one of the most gratifying things I’ve done in medicine. I’m writing this with the hope that it will inspire more #MedTwitter people who aren’t yet doing so to start prescribing bupe. Please retweet.🧵
Thank you @alexmorrisNY for sharing this thought-provoking piece that will open the floor for new conversations around #psychosis and #treatment. Selena’s story, including challenges with finding the right treatment, will resonate with many people who experience psychosis.
Selena Gomez opens up to Rolling Stone about an episode of psychosis in 2018, hearing voices, the paranoia she felt in a treatment facility, the adverse effect too many medications had on her, and how she got better. trib.al/wZXipxI

1/5 of American adults experience a form of mental illness each year. In a new paper, learn about the barriers to care faced by those suffering from mental illness & substance use disorders, and policy reforms that could help overcome these challenges: onphr.ma/3FUmRIX
Interesting report from @WHO regarding the future of #MalariaTransmission and treatment – it’s critical to continue developing new protective protocols and resources that can be used to fight this life-threatening disease.
#Malaria is a life-threatening disease transmitted to people by mosquitoes. In a few years most people living in malaria-endemic countries will reside in cities.

As the threat of malaria grows, @LyndraInc is developing a new tool in the fight against malaria -- bi-weekly oral ivermectin (LYN-163), which has the potential to reduce malaria transmission.
Absolutely agree @drjenwolkin! Eliminating stigma plays a pivotal role in the process of improving mental health services and advancing treatment options.
At @LyndraInc, we care about raising awareness for #MentalHealth and are optimistic about the impact that a once weekly medication option could have on reducing the stigma and burdens associated with taking your medication.
Thanks for your work on this important read @sydneypage95! It’s always wonderful to see women empowering other women and @jesswade is doing a remarkable job at giving recognition to the exceptional work of #WomenInScience across the board.
‘Not only do we not have enough women in science, but we aren’t doing enough to celebrate the ones we have,’ said physicist Jess Wade.
She decided to take matters into her own hands.
