I am a total skeptic as it relates to the development of drugs in the United States. I think it is a rigged and corrupt system. That is, however, not the point of my blog post today.
Today we speak of Biogen’s newest drug, the recently US Food and Drug Administration approved Alzheimer’s drug: ADUCANUMAB.
[The marketing guys got ahold of the boss and the drug will be marketed under the name ADUHELM. I know, not much of a name, but beats the Hell out of aducanumab.]
An emerging phenomenon is that some significant segment of the work force, having experienced pandemic driven work from home, is reluctant to return to working from an office downtown.
Companies are beginning to report lateral movement — workers going to work for another company in essentially the same job with similar compensation — at another company.
That’s right, dear readers. Workers have become so enamored of WFH that they don’t want to return to status quo pre-pandemic meaning work from the office.
Companies recognize this and some employers are trying to spin hybrid models with some WFH and some work from the office.
Hybrid may not work. Many workers want WFH full time.
I am going to tell you a tale. Stay with me to the end as it is not what you may think.
We live in a world in which many odd things have happened of late. Amongst them are the following:
1. Solar Winds — Russian hackers — have cracked into the vast majority of US government computers and databases to an extent that we simply don’t know how deep they penetrated, if they left behind artifacts, and when they did it.
We do know our government didn’t tell us for a long time and they did not know about it for a long time. But, supposedly, the Russian hackers did not get the nuclear football codes.
I am a passionate North Carolina Tarheels basketball fan and thus am obligated to hate Duke and The Rat, Coach Mike Krzyzewski. I hate Duke and Coach K.
In reality, if Duke is not playing Carolina or if they are still in the NCAA March Madness Tournament and the Heels are out, I root for Duke. I like Coach K, the smiling cherub.
Monday is Memorial Day, the day upon which we honor and observe, not celebrate, those who lost their lives in service to the Nation in the military during wartime.
Lance Corporal Eric Ward, a fourth-generation U.S. Marine, was killed in Afghanistan on February 21, 2010. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The United States is commemorating Memorial Day this Monday.
As a Nation, we ponder with solemnity the sacrifice these men and women made in service to the Nation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched an investigation into the appearance of eight nooses at an Amazon work site in Windsor, Connecticut. Key the threatening background music, please.
The noose is, of course, interpreted as a symbol of racial hatred harkening back to the horrific lynching of black persons with a knotted noose.
Do you want to take a ride into outer space? Well, do you?
If you do and you have a bit of ready cash you can hitch a ride on either Blue Origin’s (Jeff Bezos) or SpaceX’s (Elon Musk) rocket and escape the surly bonds of gravity for a few minutes. Today, we talk Blue Origin’s book.
You can put yourself into outer space in less than two months. Hello, America! Here’s how, amigos.
Blue Origin is auctioning off a passenger ticket. [No, Expedia and Priceline are not involved.]
I am drawn to national cemeteries — cemeteries at which honorably discharged veterans and our war dead are interred. They are hallowed ground.
Recently whilst visiting Beaufort, South Carolina (an absurdly charming, sparkling Southern seaport in the Low Country) I visited the Beaufort National Cemetery.
