#ARWR CEO Chris Anzalone calls LDL cholesterol a "toxin." There's a lot of money up for grabs for companies that figure out the best means of reducing that toxin. My recent A1 story examines the cholesterol and lipids space -- everything from PCSK9 and CETP to Lp(a). #MRK $NVS

@clhubes The biggest challenge for us was not having any help. We don’t live near any family, but have lots of friends who would have happily helped. We were lucky to have lots of meals dropped off, but no one to hold the babies so we could both sleep.

@realgirl_fieri How little time you spend actually sitting. There are constant requests for snacks and help finding lost toys, drawing something specific or reading a book. If you have multiple kids, you spend a lot of time on your feet breaking up fights. And, when you do sit, it's never alone

A year ago, $MRNA didn’t have a commercial product, it wasn’t profitable and its stock was valued at less than a third of what it is today. Now, it’s joining the S&P 500. Can we all take a moment to marvel at how wild the biotech sector is?
