Of course if you’re the two companies walking around with stuffies and puppets you have to take a pic. Always love seeing my dear friend @AaronJHorowitz and excited for @Sproutel’s expansion into #clinicaltrials 🥳. #DPHARM2022

Excited to announce our work with Mark Achler to the world: Exit Right, How to Sell Your Startup. It’s the book I wish I read before selling my own startup @SwipeSense.

This cuddly ball of fur is Purrble. It's an interactive toy that helps kids find calm when stressed and learn to deal with their emotions. It has a heartbeat, reacts to touch and looks like a mix between a koala bear & the gopher from Caddyshack.

Beyond Type 1 is saddened by the unexpected passing of our president and CEO, Thom Scher. He was a charismatic colleague, mentor, and friend to all of us. We will honor Thom’s memory by continuing the important work he championed on behalf of all those living with diabetes.

Have you ever thought back on your favorite day at work? For @Sproutel’s CEO, @AaronJHorowitz, it was the day that “made everything worthwhile” when he experienced the impact that his team’s invention brought to children undergoing cancer treatment. #InnovationSquared

Grateful for our partnership with @aflac and excited to introduce My Special Aflac Duck for children with sickle cell. It is an honor to learn from the SCD community and work together to design a product to bring comfort and joy to these children.

Really excited to be on an @Advance_CTR design thinking webinar now w/ @AaronJHorowitz of @Sproutel. The applications to medical populations are endless. ❤️ the user-center focus. It’s easy to see the need for these approaches especially in these days of disconnection & disparity

"The stuffed animal allows them to practice, and it also serves as a distractor," says pediatric endocrinologist Risa Wolf. "When the child gets a shot, the bear also gets a shot and has its blood sugar checked."

It was great talking to Rusty about his breakthrough work targeting KRAS in cancer. Fascinating to learn that drug discovery & research is all about failing forward, paralleling the design process!
Thank you @Amgen for the opportunity to share about our work at @Sproutel !
Targeting KRAS in cancer has been a 40-year quest by scientists and researchers around the world, including Amgen’s own Rusty Lipford.
Rusty recently spoke with @aaronjhorowitz of @sproutel about the KRAS gene and how science is actually built upon 90% failure.
