.@tacomacc For years I have been trying to remember the name of this wonderful English professor who reignited my love of learning and writing over two decades ago. Can you help? (thread on #education #teaching) Before @tacomacc I went to an expensive Catholic high school in Tacoma that will remain unnamed (cough, cough @BellarminePrep) where I had a horrible experience. I struggled with math & when one lesson was proving especially difficult, I sought extra help.

I GOT A BOOK DEAL! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! (Thread) Image I keep thinking, in this moment, about how eager I was to read & write from a young age. I traced my mother's handwriting in her journals with my chubby index finger before I could read, captivated by the idea of putting thoughts to page.

It is not without critics.

It’s no longer just one company seeking to be the first to bring a generic to market-a status that provides 180 days of exclusivity. Instead, multiple companies are sharing first-filer status. So why could more competition be bad for consumers? (thread) news.bloomberglaw.com/pharma-and-lif… In 2019, 14 brand-name drugs had multiple generic first-filers, up from seven in 2013 and zero in 2004, according to Food and Drug Administration data compiled by DrugPatentWatch.com for Bloomberg Law. h/t @thinkbiotech

State & federal enforcers often tout multi-million dollar settlements against pharma companies that pay generic companies to keep a cheaper version of a drug off the market. But do those settlements really discourage anticompetitive behavior? (Thread) news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and… A @BLaw analysis breaks down pharma pay-for-delay settlements with state and federal enforcers since the 2013 #SCOTUS decision in FTC v. Actavis, which held these kinds of deals between brand and generics can be illegal.
