Let's talk about drug prices for a sec. 💊💵
While I'm in R&D not pricing, I can say that bringing one new drug to market is a high-cost endeavor. The price reflects not just the cost of the pill, but the cost of all the research that didn't lead to it. A nuanced but crucial, distinction. #DrugPricing

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be?

LADAPO: Absolutely not

T: You didn't even do a projection?

L: It's an issue of right & wrong

Daily reminder: The treatments we’re designing today are someone’s hope for tomorrow.
Keep pushing. The world needs our curiosity and courage.
What keeps you motivated when the research gets tough?

Coffee’s kicking in. Brain’s kicking on.
Let’s go Monday. 💪☕️

‘People will die because of this’: How RFK Jr. drove out the CDC’s senior leaders On the same day Susan Monarez was fired, four of the agency’s top leaders quit.

New: In 7 months, Kennedy has broken the CDC, perhaps irreparably. For all he’s done with mass firings, gutting expertise, and attacking vaccines, Wednesday’s loss of its most senior and competent leaders—truly the CDC’s backbone—is the most consequential attack yet.

Science is real

Doing absolutely nothing of importance today so I can do something important all week.
Here’s to strong coffee, comfy blankets and a calm before the Monday storm. ☕️
How are you recharging today?

Sometimes it feels like you're looking for a star in a sky full of noise.
Then, a signal, a glimmer of promise.
That’s the moment we live for in drug discovery.
Reminding myself today that every breakthrough began as a question.

Sometimes the smallest molecule holds the biggest hope. I believe that today’s research could be tomorrow’s breakthrough for someone fighting cancer or a rare disease.
Grateful to walk this path between the lab and lives changed.

Advice | Higher Ed’s Paltry Investment in Training its Own Leaders What does a well-designed leadership-development program look like?

This is a great new piece by @drkevinrmcclure.com on how many colleges offer little to no leadership training for their employees. It's hard to grow your own leaders with little support.
