What Stays the Same When the Rules Are Changing

Hi! It's taken me a little time to gather my thoughts from moderating our recent forum session, "Future-Proofing Our Value Proposition," with Jeff Lockwood (BlueRock Therapeutics), Theresa McNeely (Lifordi Immunotherapeutics), and Ritesh Patel (Doceree) that tackled something we're all feeling: the ground shifting beneath our feet. I opened with a term I'd recently discovered—"post-labor future"—describing a world where AI doesn't just assist with tasks but takes over entire jobs. It sounds...

Hi! The photo album from the Biopharma Comms Forum is ready to browse. Scroll through the gallery Thanks to Joe Sardone and Jygantic for capturing the day so well. Feel free to share any of the photos—they're for all of us. A picture tells 1,000 words (and we have 300 pictures!), but don't worry. I'll keep this short. About a tenth of our community was in Boston in person, which tells me something important. While these gatherings create real energy and connection, they're one piece of a...

Hi! In last week's Comm Convo, we set out to answer the fundamental question, How do we move beyond delivering messages to creating genuine connection across every kind of border? Elizabeth Baxter (Mayo Clinic), Amri Johnson (Inclusion Wins), and Catherine Priestley (formerly AstraZeneca) brought us deep into the realities of global science communication—the moments when perfect translations fail, when assumptions crumble, and when curiosity becomes our most valuable currency. Here are our...

Hi! Enrollment for T2B's Peer-Learning Practicum (PLP) is now OPEN! I created the PLP because I wanted to provide a space where real conversations could continue and meaningful relationships could form. While we considered traditional mentoring, I've learned from experience that there's often a mentor shortage, and many mid-stage professionals feel caught in between—too senior to be mentees, not experienced enough to be mentors. The truth is, we all have something to learn from each other....

T2B Monthly | June 2025 The ripple effect, peer coaching is back(!), new T2B info session, and more! It was at JPM this year when I saw it. That experience — what was our biggest event to date at the time — followed by a week of energizing conversations in January, crystallized T2B’s potential. We’ve been building momentum toward sustainability ever since, bringing us to our inaugural Biopharma Comms Forum a couple weeks ago. As I shared in my remarks in Boston, I launched T2B because I...

Hi! As we work to make the T2B community sustainable, it’s been a privilege to partner with organizations that truly understand the value of connection. We strive to embed our sponsors into the fabric of this community, prioritizing relationships and shared insights over sales pitches. One of those voices is Angela Dwyer, Fullintel’s VP of insights, who brought thoughtfulness and curiosity to every conversation she joined. Here are a few of her recent reflections I’d like to pass on to all of...

Hi! We're kicking off our T2B forum recap series with our thoughts on “Expanding Communicator Influence Across Biopharma Decision-Making Functions,” a session with Mimi Lee (ARPA-H), Julie Masow (BioNTech), Sandy Pound (Thermo Fisher), and Katie Joyce (Alkermes) that had people buzzing in the hallway afterward. We brought together communicators from different parts of our industry to dig into something we’re all navigating: how to continue moving beyond being the “press release person” and...

Hi! You don't need me to tell you that we communicators are navigating an increasingly globalized environment, no matter the size or structure of our organizations or those of our clients. From working across timezones to managing cultural nuance, aligning teams, and addressing sensitive topics with care, we must have both flexibility and foresight. Join us this Wednesday (June 25th) @ 1 p.m. ET for our next monthly Comm Convo: Communicating Across Borders. You’ll hear from Elizabeth Baxter...

Hi and Happy Friday! Before sharing reflections from this week’s inaugural T2B Biopharma Comms Forum, we wanted to take a moment to pass on our thoughts from the first community event that T2B’s Culture Connect Roundtable hosted just last week. Here are our top takeaways on how to stay connected and clear-headed, even when external pressures and internal shifts collide: Culture is built in the small moments. Teams respond best to authentic, human gestures – like leaders walking the floor or a...
