charlesgaba
@charlesgaba@mastodon.socialHealthcare policy data analysis, advocacy & snark, focused primarily on the #ACA.
MaryAustinBooks
@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.socialThe Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.
"Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️
