SG:And easier for journalists; they can rally around that. 'An incredibly good home' #NIH #scicomm
11:17am March 25th 2015 via Hootsuite
SG:In the US - how we care for people, the #NIH needs to trumpet that. Can we define it as a starting point? Can rally around that #scicomm
11:16am March 25th 2015 via Hootsuite
SG:In one sentence, what do you say the #NIH does? It makes a big difference. A sense of awe - how do we define who we are? #scicomm
11:15am March 25th 2015 via Hootsuite
SG:With NASA, CDC, people are familiar. With the #NIH - defining mission is a challenge. What's the primary message? #scicomm

SG:Q:How do you juggle all of this? 50% time as a neurosurgeon? A:Never enough time. "I love being an MD" #NIH #scicomm
