    Most important thing I’ve learned as an executive is brevity. Brevity. Brevity. Brevity. Some of the smartest people can really distill thoughts in a clear and concise manner.

    Okay, @TIME is one thing, but why does making it to a @Jeopardy question feel like such a big deal to me?!!! I grew up watching this show with my grandma … I’m completely in my feels right now. 💫😫

    I've been admitted into the 1st COVID-19 vaccine trial. I'm grateful for my health. For the 1000s of scientists who brought us here. For the team that developed this vaccine (@NIH, @moderna_tx, et al). For @KPWaResearch, and the nurse who came out of retirement to draw my blood

    Our (co-inventors @McLellan_Lab) COVID-19 vaccine (spike delivered by @moderna_tx's mRNA) was just injected into the 1st human in phase 1 trial, only 66 days after viral sequence release... a testament to rapid vaccine development for emerging diseases🦠💚

    Once I put "Beyonce also has 24 hours in a day" on the white board in our break room, and a student (assumingely) scribbled through it and wrote "Beyonce has people". Touche. On this day. TOUCHE.

    I’ll raise you one: BY THE TIME YOU DETECT ONE VARIANT ANOTHER IS ALREADY CIRCULATING UNDER THE RADAR SOMEWHERE SO WITH A MIX OF SURVEILLANCE LAGS, LOW VACCINE UPTAKE, INEQUITABLE VACCINE ACCESS WE ARE WILL BE CHASING VARIANTS ENDLESSLY. (my first all caps tweet)

    Please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top. I’m still begging. That’s just where I am. I have the data in a thread on my page but at this point… just please go. To. Day.

    Today, my dad and my PhD dad get to witness me getting an honorary degree from UNC. I didn’t “walk” after defending my dissertation. So today... I walk. So many full circle moments this year. Honored.

    The woman leading COVID-19 vaccine trials is 'not your average pocket-protector scientist'
    "A lot of people are banking on us or feel that we have a product that could, at least, be part of the answer this world needs," Corbett said.
