More therapeutic options for patients living with #COPD regardless of baseline blood eos
COPD can be associated with exacerbations despite maintenance therapy. Two phase 2 trials tested add-on tozorakimab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits interleukin-33 activity. Research findings from the phase 3 OBERON and TITANIA trials are summarized in a new Quick Take video. nej.md/47EdhqpView quoted post on X
This is the best advice I’ve seen in a long time on how to prepare for a job talk in medicine
Many of you are in the process of applying for jobs in academia and/or in industry.View quoted post on X
As you prepare your job talks, consider giving it the following structure:
First, a short snippet of your overall set of technical accomplishments. For instance, you might spend the first 15 minutes giving short overviews of a few of your works/papers - it's also very good to draw a theme across them if there is one.
Second, you can spend the next 20-25 minutes doing a deep dive on *just one* of them - say, the one you're most proud of, or the one that matches the team/department interests and needs best.
Finally, use the last 5-10 minutes to summarize and talk about what you think are important new directions to pursue in research and how these could have impact on the field, the company, or the department and their areas of interest and growth.
It's hard to give a bad talk that's structured this way.
