I’m biased because I conducted this interview but it’s a fantastic piece. Amazing to hear about a start up CDMO embedding sustainability from day one. How many CDMOs do you hear about doing their own composting?
Many of us have climate anxiety – which is why we were delighted to interview @HannsMahler on why #sustainability is at the heart of #pharma CDMO ten23 health. The company even has its own composting ☑️♻️ bit.ly/3RITHT1

This morning I’ve spoken about biological APIs, translational science, supply chains in pharma, sustainability and more. I’ve also been given coffee, a ham sandwich & chocolate. No time for the games though at #cphi unfortunately!

To boast - I did achieve a hole in one at the golf competition but sadly I’m (obviously!) not eligible for the prize! Drop in at hall 8 for your chance to win! #cphi #weloveminigolf

First day at #cphi was jam packed with meetings. One recurring topic is sustainability. It’s great to FINALLY see the pharma industry & it’s suppliers taking action here! I’ve been hearing about new techniques & processes - and even on-site beehives

When researching this news piece covering Katalin Karikó&Drew Weissman I didn’t expect to be as moved as I am. The lack of early support for Karikó and Weissman’s work is disappointing – & it’s especially grueling to read about Karikó's experience. rb.gy/l96s6

It makes one wonder about how many scientific discoveries have just been swept aside. I think there is much the scientific community needs to discuss. But for now – huge congratulations to Karikó&Weissman. Thank you for persevering! & thank you for my COVID-19 vaccine!

I am delighted to see @Kiranshaw on the @medicine_maker #powerlist! I was honoured to have the opportunity to interview her a few years ago for an article. She has a fascinating career and story. themedicinemaker.com/busines…
Proud to be recognized among Top 20 in Biopharmaceuticals category in The Medicine Maker @medicine_maker Power List 2021. #themedicinemaker #powerlist2021 themedicinemaker.com/power-l…
Will be interesting to see whether Germany will persist in advising against giving the @AstraZeneca vaccine to over 65s despite the all-clear in this age group from @EMA_News.
📢 EMA has just recommended granting a conditional marketing authorisation for the #COVID19vaccine AstraZeneca to prevent #COVID19 in people from 18 years of age. 👉Read our press release: ema.europa.eu/en/news/ema-re…
Spending on prescription drugs rose by 6.3 percent annually under Trump compared to a 5.5 percent rate under Obama. And prescription drug prices in the US rose during the Trump presidency by 5.9 percent from December 2016 to December 2019.

Four years ago in a cover story for Time magazine, President Trump said, “I’m going to bring down drug prices." How did that pan out? And what about Biden? themedicinemaker.com/busines…

The WHO has released recommendations for the #Pfizer #Covid_19 vaccine. Agency recommends 2nd dose should be given up to a max of 6 weeks after 1st dose. Yet some countries still want to leave a 12 week gap between doses bit.ly/3nqLbFt

President-elect Joe Biden appoints Rick Bright, former @BARDA director, to his #COVID19 taskforce. We spoke with @RickABright earlier this year about improving drug development and his career's most defining moments. bit.ly/38UicGr

📢Check out EMA's update on treatments and vaccines against #COVID19 under development. #FactsMatter: At this point, no medicine has yet demonstrated efficacy in treating COVID-19, but we are in contact with many developers. 👉ema.europa.eu/en/news/update…

ATTENTION ALL YOU COOL SCIENTISTS STUCK AT HOME PRETENDING TO READ PAPERS. How about having a Zoom meeting with my 10th grade chemistry students? This has been a great way for us to humanize science for kids in the past and you can do it right from your couch!

The collaborative force of academia working with the pharma industry deserves a lot of credit for how oncology therapy has progressed, but there is considerable scope for improvement. bit.ly/2tfMznQ
