Working on a story about where AI is actually creating more, rather than less, work for clinicians. (As in, adding additional grunt work or even creating entirely new and tiresome workflows.) Reach out if you'd like to contribute.
To invest the billions it costs to make new medicines, companies need to be able to trust the word and actions of the FDA. To capaciously change the rules at the end of the game ultimately hurts patients.
A successful hunt of human genome variants identifying some (with MR) that provide causal evidence that BMI affects microbe composition @NatureGenet https://t.co/1uxvnFNrbK https://t.co/SuItRHAnFe
The American Academy of Pediatrics has become a leader in the effort to reverse RFK Jr.'s vaccine policies. The success — or failure — of the group's approach will have consequences for kids' health nationwide. Inside the AAP's plan for the MAHA...
$CMPS first-in-line for potential psychedelic approval for Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) . Likely war between "Old School FDA" and MAHA movement. Will be exciting to see the outcome. $HELP with strong data for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Breakthrough Therapy Designation. New...
For the Nancy Guthrie case, an idea and maybe a crazy one but she had a pacemaker which often implantable devices use bluetooth such as Medtronic's. Couldn't you war-drive (drones even better) with a high gain antenna with amplifiers -...
Earnings roundup: Neurocrine slumps, Alnylam battles skeptics and Ascendis eyes a competitor https://t.co/kU1ex80A24 by @realJacobBell $NBIX - 10% $ALNY - 4% $ASND - 2% $BBIO #biotech
For my book Allergic, I went to Cincinnati Children's Hospital and talked to asthma experts that vehemently argued otherwise...with decades of data behind them. Young (and old) lungs especially need the cleanest air we can manage. This is one of the...
#TEFCA, America’s National Interoperability Network, Reaches Nearly 500 Million Health Records Exchanged as @HHSGov + @HHS_TechPolicy Leverages #Technology and #AI to Lower Costs and Reduce Burden #ASTP2026 https://t.co/0iBnnjnNR3 https://t.co/oFI2brZmfq
“Yes, the rest of the world can maintain a market for vaccines. But will it be as innovative and as vibrant as it has been? That’s a different question.” https://t.co/jB38FWfglo
It would be highly instructive to read the pembrolizumab paper highlighted by @DrPatrick. Of course, he doesn't expect anyone to do that. This is what it says IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH: The FDA approved pembrolizumab on May 23, 2017, for...

Our latest paper appeared today as a cover (inside front) feature article in Advanced Functional Materials, titled “A Bioresorbable Neural Interface for On-Demand Thermal Pain Block.” The focus is on a bioresorbable, implantable form of neural electronics that supports precisely...
Cracking the case: how did adenoviral vector vaccine such as the J&J's Covid induce very rare and potentially fatal clotting, bleeding? An elegant proof of molecular mimicry—genetic background + rogue antibodies https://t.co/yp6TNE8ZQC https://t.co/NhhYDvntmT @rkhamsi @TheAtlantic https://t.co/xY7f6MVkx9 @kakape @GretchenVogel1 @ScienceMagazine

This week's Biotech Scorecard newsletter: The old Vinay Prasad never left. He just changed jobs Submissions to the FDA are handled by teams of reviewers, of course. But when I look across all of these recent cases, I see a...
PepsiCo reportedly spent $2.8 million last year lobbying to keep junk food eligible for food stamps. Then 18 states moved to restrict SNAP purchases of soda, candy, and ultra-processed snacks. Within a week, PepsiCo cut prices on Doritos, Lay's, and Tostitos by...
NEW: Terray has taken a contrarian AI approach, building a non-diffusion-based model for binding affinity predictions They shared some H2H results against Boltz-2, a popular open-source model, showing 20% more accuracy + 26x faster to run: https://t.co/BFZU8y6qI8
The Utah-based startup Leash Bio is warning of the potential for AI models to be cheating on tasks like predicting binding affinities of molecules I talked with @allmeasures about how its "Name that Chemist" quiz relates to the goal of generalization:...
So Sanofi's board strikes again. Paul Hudson gets the old Paris boot 6 years after taking on the task of remaking the pipeline. It hasn't gone well. Next: Belen Garijo. She has a few years to get ready for the...

Over 90% of responders believe it's time for mammography to incorporate AI for every readout, whereas close to 0% who get screened are getting that interpretation now, and at no out-of-pocket charge https://t.co/hITOBNd7pg https://t.co/x1I6Ffxfio
Pet peeve: why do "scientists" forget about the concept of significant figures? Happens all the time, in biotech & beyond. Too many decimal places scream lack of credibility. "Sig figs" is a simple concept: measurement readings should not push beyond instrument...
