It is now seeking a buyer, and co-founder Anne Wojcicki has stepped down as CEO but hopes to repurchase the company.   Banning Lab Grown Meats - Mississippi bans lab-grown meat – The state unanimously passed a bill prohibiting the cultivation and sale of cell-derived meat, with penalties including fines and jail time. Similar bans have been enacted in Florida and Alabama, with other states considering restrictions.   Bill Gates on AI and jobs - In a recent interview, Bill Gates discussed the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workforce, including AI's role in medicine and education, potential job disruptions, etc.    Your AI lover will change you - The normalization of AI lovers is imminent, with AI-powered chatbots and virtual companions becoming more interactive, personalized, and emotionally engaging.

This Day in Legal History: Last Quaker Executed for Religious Beliefs in USOn March 24, 1661, William Leddra was executed in Boston, becoming the last Quaker in the American colonies to be put to death solely for his religious beliefs. Leddra, a devout Quaker, had previously been banished from Massachusetts under the colony's anti-Quaker laws but returned in defiance of the order. His return led to his arrest, imprisonment in harsh conditions through the winter, and eventual execution by hanging on Boston Common. His death marked the culmination of a brutal period of religious persecution in Puritan-controlled Massachusetts, where Quakers were seen as heretical threats to civil and religious order.Between 1659 and 1661, four Quakers—Marmaduke Stephenson, William Robinson, Mary Dyer, and William Leddra—were executed under laws banning Quakers from the colony. Their trials and punishments drew condemnation from other colonies and even from England. Leddra's hanging, in particular, caught the attention of King Charles II, who soon after issued a royal order halting capital punishment for religious dissent in Massachusetts. This effectively ended the execution of Quakers in the colonies.The persecution stemmed from Puritan authorities' intolerance of dissent and fear of Quaker evangelism, which rejected formal clergy and embraced equality, pacifism, and direct spiritual experience. Quakers continued to face fines, whippings, and imprisonment, but the death penalty was no longer enforced. Leddra's martyrdom, like that of his fellow Friends, became a symbol of religious freedom's cost and the struggle for tolerance in early America. His execution helped galvanize early opposition to theocratic rule and contributed to evolving colonial attitudes toward religious liberty.Paul Weiss Chairman Brad Karp alleged in a firmwide email that rival law firms attempted to take advantage of the firm's vulnerability following a March 14 executive order from President Donald Trump. The order directed federal agencies to sever contracts with Paul Weiss clients, prompting the firm to negotiate a deal with Trump rather than pursue litigation. Karp expressed disappointment that instead of receiving support, competitors tried to poach both clients and attorneys during the turmoil.The deal Paul Weiss struck included backing off diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and committing $40 million to pro bono work aligned with Trump administration priorities. Karp stressed that the administration is not selecting or approving the firm's matters. He acknowledged internal backlash and intense emotions over the firm's course of action but maintained that litigation would have likely jeopardized the firm's future, even with a legal victory.Perkins Coie, targeted by a similar March 6 order, has chosen to sue and has already lost clients as a result. On March 21, Trump issued an additional executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to sanction attorneys and firms pursuing what the administration deems frivolous or vexatious litigation against the government.Paul Weiss Chairman Accuses Rival Firms of Pursuing Clients (1)Law firm Paul Weiss defends deal with Trump as lawyers sound alarm | Reuters23andMe Holding Co. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri as it seeks to restructure and pursue a sale of the business. Despite financial challenges, the company plans to keep operating during the court-supervised process. The move is intended to help reduce costs, address legal and lease obligations, and stabilize operations.Once valued at $3.5 billion after going public in 2021, the DNA testing company has since struggled financially. Court filings list $277.4 million in assets and $214.7 million in liabilities. It secured up to $35 million in debtor-in-possession financing from JMB Capital Partners to support its operations during the bankruptcy.Co-founder Anne Wojcicki, who attempted unsuccessfully to take the company private earlier this month, has stepped down as CEO but will remain on the board. Joe Selsavage has been named interim CEO. The board's special committee chair, Mark Jensen, expressed hope that the bankruptcy process will allow 23andMe to address its challenges more effectively.23andMe Starts Chapter 11 Process, Co-Founder Steps Down - BloombergAt a recent hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg criticized Trump administration lawyers for being “intemperate and disrespectful” in filings related to a case blocking the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The administration used the rarely invoked 1798 Alien Enemies Act to justify removing alleged members of Tren de Aragua without immigration court orders. Boasberg issued a 14-day freeze on those deportations, questioning the administration's interpretation of the law and whether the individuals had any real opportunity to challenge their designation as gang members.The administration filed documents accusing Boasberg of a "judicial fishing expedition," prompting his public rebuke. Boasberg emphasized the importance of professional conduct in court and asked the Justice Department to explain by Tuesday whether it had violated his order by allowing two deportation flights to land in El Salvador after his ruling.Though Trump has said he would not defy court orders, the situation has raised constitutional concerns about executive overreach. Some deportees were reportedly refused by El Salvador's government for not fitting the criteria or being the wrong nationality or gender. Lawyers for the migrants argue the administration's reliance on the Alien Enemies Act could lead to broad and discriminatory applications.Judge in deportations case says Trump administration lawyers were 'disrespectful' | ReutersA U.S. federal judge in Chicago has approved a highly unusual class-action settlement against facial recognition firm Clearview AI that doesn't include an immediate cash payout for affected individuals. Instead, under the agreement, class members—estimated to number between 65,000 and 125,000—may receive a 23% equity stake in the company. This could eventually translate into monetary compensation if Clearview is sold, merges, or goes public.The lawsuit accused Clearview of violating Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by scraping billions of facial images from the internet and using them without consent. Clearview denied any wrongdoing. U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman called the settlement “novel” but fair, emphasizing that the equity share isn't speculative, given the company's estimated valuation of up to $225 million. Based on that figure, the fund could reach $51.75 million.As an alternative to equity, a court-appointed official may require Clearview to pay 17% of its post-settlement revenue in cash by 2027. The deal also drew criticism from 22 states and D.C., which argued that the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees—nearly 40% of the settlement value—were excessive. Coleman defended the fees, noting that such awards are typical in the 7th Circuit.The judge further noted that continuing the litigation would be complex, costly, and time-consuming, justifying the settlement's structure.US judge approves 'novel' Clearview AI class action settlement | Reuters This is a public episode.

23andMe could get delisted from the Nasdaq after all 7 members of its board resigned this week. CEO Anne Wojcicki is a big name in Silicon Valley but has struggled to find a sustainable business model and shares are 99% off its peak valuation post-SPAC merger. Wojcicki is now hoping to pivot and take the company private by buying back all outstanding shares in what could be seen as a “founders mode” leadership move. 

Seven independent directors of 23andMe have resigned, leaving CEO Anne Wojcicki as the sole board member. The resignations follow a proposed $30 million settlement for a data breach lawsuit and a lack of financing in Wojcicki's plan to take the company private. Notable director Neal Mohan and others cited a strategic disconnect and a conflicting vision for the company, prompting their resignation. Wojcicki, co-founder of 23andMe, retains 49% of the voting power and had previously sought to buy remaining shares at 40 cents, a proposal rejected by a special committee. Wojcicki plans to search for new directors and asserts that going private could enhance long-term success. Following a significant decrease in stock value from $6 billion in 2021 to 34 cents per share, the company is at risk of delisting if its stock does not surpass $1 by November 4. The data breach affected nearly 7 million accounts and led to a class action lawsuit. 23andMe provides ancestry and health predisposition kits, along with involvement in drug development.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

A recent online trend has some people convinced that their fruits and vegetables are made of silicon, rubber, or some other synthetic substance. The leading theory is that a new technology called Apeel, which is supposedly a company run by Bill Gates, is being sprayed on their foods. The problem is, Apeel Technologies is not a new company, Bill Gates' foundation is only one of many financiers that include Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Anne Wojcicki, the government of Singapore, and the Rockefeller Foundation, and the product is only used on a small number of foods. Furthermore, it's not about making foods rubbery, but instead preserving their freshness. The company uses a concoction derived from grapeseed oil anad composed of polyunsaturated fats. Here is the issue: these ingredients can increase inflammation, alter hormones in the body, and promote obesity, but we don't talk about that or the larger context of what the viral video of bending produce proves - that most people for the first time just figured out what an unripe, overripe, or ‘bad' piece of food looks like. Instead we talk about Bill Gates and not James Rogers. Who is that?

23andMe was once one of the hottest startups in Silicon Valley. It was founded on the idea that genetic tests can help people understand their health, and the company's test kits became popular gifts. But while CEO Anne Wojcicki has made some big bets, 23andMe's inability to turn a profit means that it could run out of money before it can accomplish its most ambitious goals. WSJ reporter Rolfe Winkler joins host Alex Ossola to talk about 23andMe's trajectory, and what it will take to turn the company around. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Millions of customers have explored their genome with 23andMe. But when the company started in 2006, the idea of consumer DNA testing was heresy to the medical establishment. The FDA once even ordered 23andMe to stop selling its health testing product. The company persevered to make allies out of adversaries, and became the only FDA-approved product on the market. Learn how 23andMe defined the DNA testing category, and used its success to enter the massive new field of drug discovery.    Host: Roelof Botha, Sequoia Capital  Featuring: Anne Wojcicki, Richard Scheller  Transcript: https://www.sequoiacap.com/podcast/crucible-moments-23andMe/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. In today's episode, we'll be discussing some key developments in the industry. First, let's talk about the importance of engaging with healthcare providers before making decisions about recently diagnosed patients. Real-time insights can greatly improve physician outreach, and it's crucial to choose the right data, design the right alerts, and develop a deployment strategy for maximum engagement. A playbook and the expertise of the studioid expert network can provide additional insights and strategies in this area.Next up, Alkermes has separated its cancer drug business and established a new company called Mural Oncology. This move allows Alkermes to reposition itself as a "pure-play" neuroscience company. Gilead Sciences has also expanded its collaboration with Arcellx, a biotech company focused on cancer cell therapies. This partnership gives Gilead an ownership stake in Arcellx and extends their cash runway.Graphite Bio, a gene editing biotech company, has agreed to merge with Lenz Therapeutics after facing financial struggles. This merger comes after layoffs and asset shedding at Graphite Bio. On the other hand, Vectory, a startup backed by Forbion, has raised a significant amount of funding to develop an ALS drug.The American Medical Association (AMA) has introduced new policies targeting coverage for obesity treatment and corporate medicine. They are calling for broader health insurance coverage for obesity treatment, including the use of GLP-1 agonists.Moving on to medical technology, Cardinal's changes to disposable syringes have triggered an FDA recall notice due to delayed therapy and inaccurate dispensing. Vicarious, a surgical robot company, is experiencing delays in development due to integration challenges and cuts in R&D. Stolen Medtronic laryngoscopes have also been recalled, and Abbott's study has linked an aspirin-free regimen to better outcomes in heart pump patients. Lastly, the Biden administration has launched an initiative to accelerate women's health research.In another news, UnitedHealth is being sued for allegedly using an algorithm to deny claims for Medicare Advantage seniors. One Medical has partnered with employer groups to provide primary care services, and state Medicaid officials are projecting a significant drop in enrollment next year. A Senate subcommittee has signaled support for permanent telehealth flexibilities, and there have been recent data breaches in the healthcare industry.Gilead Sciences' subsidiary, Kite, is expanding its collaboration with Arcellx in the development of blood cancer treatments. Alkermes is spinning off its oncology business into a new company called Mural Oncology. Pfizer is set to cut jobs at its UK facility, and Israeli biopharmaceutical executives express concern about the fallout from the conflict in Gaza. Lastly, Sino Biological has developed a cell-free protein synthesis system that has proven effective in overcoming challenges associated with protein production.Lastly, we'll discuss the potential of genomics in healthcare and drug discovery. Anne Wojcicki from 23andMe believes that genomic sequences can provide valuable insight into healthcare needs. Talus Bio, a small biotech company, is using a multidisciplinary platform to map transcription factors for new treatments. Investment in women's health is also on the rise.That's all for today's episode of Pharma and Biotech Daily. Stay tuned for more important news and updates in the industry.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.In today's episode, we have several news updates from the industry. Let's dive right in!First up, we have a webinar titled "Navigating Preclinical Drug Development Challenges with Lipid-Based Formulations." This webinar discusses how biopharma teams are utilizing lipid-based formulations (LBF) to improve the bioavailability of challenging molecules and reduce the transition time and cost requirements for clinical trials. The highlights of the webinar include strategies for dosing lipid formulations in preclinical models, key considerations for improving bioavailability through LBF, and the regulatory and technical nuances involved in transitioning preclinical LBF to viable clinical dosage forms.Next, we have a case study from Cambrex on their process to enable GMP production under tight time pressure for a first-in-human clinical trial. This case study highlights the importance of route development and designing synthesis for GMP production. Cambrex's experts successfully developed a robust and high-yield process to enable GMP production within a tight timeline for a first-in-human clinical trial.Moving on, Biogen and Sage have set the price of their postpartum depression pill at $15,900, which is significantly lower than initial predictions. This move aims to make the treatment more accessible to patients. Additionally, obesity drug biotech startup OrsoBio has raised $60 million in a series A funding round to develop new therapies for obesity and related metabolic disorders.In another news update, Anne Wojcicki, CEO of 23andMe, discusses the company's transition into a "full-fledged biotech" in an in-depth interview. Wojcicki explains how 23andMe is venturing into drug research and development, going beyond its initial focus on at-home genetics testing. Ventyx, a biotech company, has revised its plans for its tyk2 drug after lackluster study data, and Bristol Myers is paying $100 million for access to a blood and bone marrow cancer drug developed by Orum Therapeutics.Shifting gears, the Biden administration is proposing a rule to cap broker payment in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans in Massachusetts to prevent marketing misconduct. Kaiser Permanente reported a rebound in investment and operating income in Q3, Envision Healthcare has emerged from bankruptcy restructuring, and Surescripts has acquired drug alternatives company ActiveRadar.Hospitals are also facing challenges in preparing for extreme weather events caused by climate change. Financial and data challenges are making it difficult for hospitals to develop effective disaster planning strategies. In other news, Cigna is reportedly exploring the possibility of shedding its Medicare Advantage business, and there is an ongoing battle over drug prices between Secretaries Becerra and Azar. A new California law offers protection from steep ambulance bills.Moving on to the pharmaceutical industry, Novartis has signed a potential $1.3 billion deal with Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical for the global rights to develop an oral HDAC6 inhibitor. Ventyx Biosciences has decided to discontinue the development of its psoriasis candidate despite positive results in a phase II study. Vertex Pharmaceuticals reported third-quarter revenue of $2.48 billion, falling short of expectations. The Department of Health and Human Services is considering removing Johnson & Johnson's psoriasis treatment Stelara from Medicare drug price negotiations.Next, we have an article discussing Anne Wojcicki, CEO and founder of 23andMe, and her ambitions to disrupt the healthcare industry through genomics. Wojcicki's interest in healthcare began during her childhood, and she has positioned 23andMe as a leader in direct-to-consumer genetic testing and genetic data partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. The article highlights an in-depth interview with Wojcicki, wher

Anne Wojcicki and her co-founders started 23andMe back in 2006 with a clear mission: to make genetic testing and its results, including findings about predisposition to disease, widely available to consumers. And, in exchange for a swab of spit and a fee, 23andMe provided its customers with unprecedented insight into their own genetic makeup. Now, Wojcicki and her company are at the forefront of a broader movement to expand personalized care and drug options in healthcare. In today's episode, Anne talks about the challenges in understanding the code of life, the benefits of DNA testing, concerns over privacy in the healthcare industry, and the future of medicine and new drug discovery. Anne Wojcicki is a biologist, entrepreneur, and the co-founder and CEO of the personal genomics company 23andMe, which provides genetic testing for individuals curious about their ancestry and genetic makeup.   In this episode, Hala and Anne will discuss: - Anne's disillusionment with the U.S. healthcare system - The power of the human genome - The challenges of direct-to-consumer DNA tests - The real reason 23andMe was so controversial - Handling FDA concerns - Challenges of achieving transparency and privacy - How people's lives have been changed by taking the 23andMe test - Integrating genetics into patient care - How large datasets are helping solve health mysteries - Building a direct-to-consumer healthcare movement - Combining genetics with drug discovery research - Expanding 23andMe's non-European databases - How AI will change the medical landscape - And other topics…   Anne Wojcicki is a biologist, entrepreneur, and the co-founder and CEO of the personal genomics company 23andMe.

In this podcast extra, MSNBC's Ari Melber asks viewers to explore novel ideas with an “open mind.” Economist Juliet Schor discusses the labor system and if there is a better way to rethink it. Philosopher Martha Nussbaum delivers a provocative argument that animals should have legal rights and access to the courts with human lawyers. Plus, Anne Wojcicki, the billionaire founder of 23andMe, explains her unconventional vision for using DNA and ancestry to give people more knowledge about their lives.

An ‘appeal to nature' fallacy is the implication that because something is perceived as having some relationship with nature it must be desirable. Tell that to poison ivy, sumac, oak, hemlock, and all the rest. But this is the argument being used by Apeel Technology to sell their fruit and vegetable coating. Apeel promises to prevent food waste by coating produce with a concoction derived from grapeseed oil and composed of polyunsaturated fats, like Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids. When these are consumed in high quantities, though, or have a poor ratio with Omega-3 fatty acids, they increase inflammation, hormone imbalance, and promote obesity. However, there is a tremendous amount of misleading and hysteria-driven information being produced by both the company and its opponents who say that Bill Gates and the WEF are its the owner, and that they want to poison you. One ridiculous post said: “If you see the Apeel logo on any fruit and veg do not buy it, this is a Bill Gates and WEF company, this chemical makes things last 3x longer and cannot be washed off, in US and Canada at the moment.” First, the company has received 719 million dollars from Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Anne Wojcicki, the government of Singapore, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Secondly, the founder, James Rogers, was brought into the Young Global Leaders of the WEF eight years after founding the technology. Third, there are no chemicals, even if the concoction derived from fatty acids has not been tested. It was given “premarket approval” and a rubber stamp of Generally Recognized As Safe by the FDA. It is likely that giving people more time to eat their produce will result in less overall being consumed, since there will be less of a rush to consume the fruits and vegetables in our kitchens. The fact that we throw out up to 40% of all produce is only true for one, people who buy produce, and two, for people already with access to such abundance. This is not about food waste or the environment then, it is about virtue signaling, making money, big business, and controlling the food supply.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
