Richard Guadalupe McDonald, ph.d., et/al.'s Linkedin Analytics

I did not let my K-12+ education destroy my curiosity and science fun. Even published a short, fun article in SCIENCE on "who is et al.?" Who knew the Science editorial clan also had a sense of humor ["Fun in science is not allowed. Semicolon!" Ancient Proverb]. In the realm of biomedical research, I learned how to have the courage to say, THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES. This is an essential step in propelling biomedical research forward with a patient-centric focus. This also means, slowing down. This also means, slowing down. My journey has spanned diverse roles, from high-risk interdisciplinary projects to navigating clinical research and R&D…all are reflected in continuous skill enhancement through coursework or on-the-fly-learning. This journey began with cleaning laboratory glassware at the University of Michigan's Pharmacology Department. Why was this important? It helped me learn how to think. If people wanted what I solved kept quiet, oh well, no SHOW N' TELL from me as a publication or a patent. My purpose lies in pushing patient-centric boundaries, evident in the Global Health Science Institute, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit addressing healthcare gaps. If publications don’t directly help patients…why publish stuff no one reads? So you can say when you retire, I have more than 300 publications?! No one cares! Plus, patients don't care about publications. I asked. "If it does not directly help my condition, what do I care and why should I care about their awards as well? ALL Adult Participation Awards as far as I am concerned." DID YOU KNOW, The emphasis on small group strategy is derived from experiences at the National Institutes of Health and the 520th Theater Medical Laboratory, where small, agile teams proved potent. Whether pioneering proteins for HIV drug development or field-pioneering bioterrorism detection, the essence lies in strategic partnerships. My pursuit is not for transactional collaborations but for transformative ones, where collective efforts transcend boundaries, shaping the future of biomedical research with a patient-centric core. However, your ship must be going in another direction from ours...that's how things move forward in biomedical research.
