Hi! We're seeking eight seasoned comms professionals to volunteer as Cohort Leads for our first 2026 cycle of T2B's Peer-Learning Practicum (PLP).

Unlike mentoring programs that struggle with imbalanced ratios and leave mid-level professionals in limbo (too junior to mentor, too senior to be mentored), our peer-coaching model has become a hallmark T2B offering. Why not learn from everyone? Members are...

Hi! Our October Comm Convo addressed a question that comes up a lot in our world: What does it actually mean to be an expert in biopharma communications, when we’re required to have a generalist’s breadth as well as technical depth? We’re asked to speak science and shape strategy, usually without a straight-line path that teaches us both. Raven Baxter (Dr. Raven the Science Maven), Sébastien Desprez (Immunocore), and Jamie Weiss (Alnylam) joined us to talk about how they’ve built credibility,...
