THREAD: Signing off this account for the last time. Going forward follow me at @ScottGottliebMD. #FDA is a special institution, with a singular mission that's palpable as you pass through these doors each day. We protect the public. We promote health. Our mission is indispensable https://t.co/y0UzDLRZb4

RT @HHS_ASH: Best wishes @sgottliebFDA! It’s been exciting times working on opioids and e-cigarettes with you!

The 5 states are marked on the map in the link for those who click through, but they are VA, OH, KY, TN, and GA. We will update as we get more information QT @charles_gaba: DUDE. At the very least tell us WHAT THE FIVE STATES ARE. https://t.co/dOZsRwfjVz)

Some things are so special you know there's only a brief period of time when you're gonna be able to do them. This institution is at the intersection of our most profound public health challenges. Leading FDA was a chance to try and advance policies to impact these opportunities.

I am also leaving behind my bowl and jelly beans for ⁦@NCIDirector⁩ Ned Sharpless and our modern hygienic barrier to keep them free from offending pathogens. #FoodSafety https://t.co/0lfTzfgFe5

FDA is staffed by one of the most talented cadre of people in federal service, and led by outstanding people, including our center directors and deputy commissioners @DrAbernethyFDA and @FrankYiannasFDA and Anna Abram. I'm confident in its future, and the security of its mission.

Time is short and our challenges urgent. When you're in these jobs you need to work at it every day, take on the hard problems, marshal political support, galvanize public attention to solve difficult problems, offer enduring solutions. Bad things will happen. Own them. Fix them.

Signing off. I want to thank @SecAzar, the people of FDA for their support and camaraderie, @realDonaldTrump for entrusting me with leadership of this critical institution, the Senate for their confidence in confirming me to this role, and especially the American people I served

I'll support my colleagues from the sidelines. And incoming commissioner Ned Sharpless who'll be tweeting from @FDACommissioner. Twitter was an invaluable tool to communicate quickly on things large and small, from our political challenges to emerging public health crises

Looking forward to testifying before Congress today on FDA’s FY 2019 Budget. It’ll be my 19th time testifying before Congress as the 23rd Commissioner, and my last. There were few things I did more important to securing our mission than coming before Congress to explain our goals

The Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA) greatly enhanced FDA’s ability to fulfill its critical role of protecting the food supply through an emphasis on preventing risk. During my tenure we’ve worked hard to implement #FSMA https://t.co/L8h8BbMHl5.
