The policy initiatives Scott Gottlieb championed at the FDA will remain after he departs
18 March 2019 - The resignation of Scott Gottlieb as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration raises a big question: Will the policies so publicly advocated by Gottlieb continue after his departure?
Gottlieb has been one of the most communications-savvy administrators the government has ever seen. He tweeted virtually every day as @SGottliebFDA not just to tell the Twitterverse what he was doing but to substantively explain complex policies and to advocate for FDA decisions.
Many of his tweets were issued on weekends; you almost see Gottlieb sitting in his home writing and transmitting his tweets.
