In this episode of the Future Learners podcast, Brett Campbell (CEO and co-founder of Euka) and Ellen Brown (Founder and Head of Education) tackle the single most googled question they see from Australian parents every May, June and July. Can you start homeschooling in the middle of the school year? The short answer is yes, and often, the middle of the year is the smartest time to switch. Brett and Ellen walk through the seven things every parent needs to know before making a mid-year move. They cover registration timelines, what to do if your child is being bullied right now, families who are pulling kids out to travel Australia or overseas for the rest of the year, students refusing to walk through the school gate, and whether your Year 11 or Year 12 student can still finish strong with a university pathway intact. If you have been telling yourself you will “wait until next year”, this is the conversation that will help you decide whether next term, or next week, is the better answer. Key Points What the data tells us Mid-year enrolments are not the exception, they are the norm. Families join Euka every single day of the year, not only in January. 1 in 3 students now come to Euka because of bullying, up from 1 in 5 five years ago (Euka enrolment data 2021 to 2026, shared on the Today Show by Ellen Brown in April 2026). The eSafety Commissioner has reported a 37 per cent increase in actionable cyberbullying complaints from young people in the past year. Around 30 per cent of families who come to Euka mid-year do so intending to use homeschooling as a bridge, not a forever choice. Why mid-year is often a smart time to switch State education department home education units are far less swamped in May, June and July than they are in January and February. Approvals tend to come back faster outside the start-of-year peak. Your child can start at any week or term in the curriculum, in parallel with their school timeline, or by going back to the lesson where they last felt confident. Euka’s flexible learning model means you do not need to wait for a “fresh start” date that is months away to give your child a calmer week. When this episode matters for your family Your child is being bullied, and the school’s response so far has not changed it. Your child is refusing or resisting going to school, and mornings have become a battle. You are travelling for the rest of the year, around Australia or overseas, and the school calendar no longer fits. A life situation has shifted, and the 9 to 3 calendar is no longer workable. The Year 11 or 12 timetable is breaking your student, and you have been told “they cannot leave now”. You have been thinking about homeschooling for a while, and you are tired of waiting for January. The Single Most Asked Question We Hear Every May, June and July Every year, the same question lands in the Euka inbox in waves. Some version of “is it too late to start now?”, or “can I switch in the middle of the year?”, or “do I have to wait until Term 1 next year?”. The answer has not changed, and it is short. No, it is not too late. Yes, you can switch right now. You do not have to wait. What has changed is the number of families asking, and the range of reasons. Bullying is the biggest single trigger, but the same conversation comes from families heading off to travel for the rest of the year, parents whose child has stopped getting in the car for school, and senior students whose Year 11 or 12 timetable has stopped working. “You do not have to wait for January. Often, the next term is too late. The decision to remove a child from a situation that is hurting them is not a decision that should sit on a shelf.”— Ellen Brown, Founder and Head of Education, Euka 7 Things to Know Before You Switch Mid-Year This is the spine of the episode, structured as a journey from the first moment of doubt, to the decision, to the first day at home. 1. You can start any day of the year There is no enrolment cliff at the end of January. The Euka program is built so that a student can begin at any lesson, in any week, in any term. If your child is in the middle of Term 2 at school, they can pick up at the equivalent point in the Euka curriculum, or go back to where they last felt on top of the work and rebuild from there. 2. Mid-year is actually a faster registration window State home education units process the bulk of their applications between November and February. By the middle of the year, the queue is shorter and the wait times are better. If you are looking at homeschooling in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria or any other state, mid-year is the calmer side of their admin calendar. 3. You do not need the school principal’s permission This is the line Ellen comes back to most often. Parents have the legal authority to remove their child from a school and educate them at home. You notify the principal, you do not ask permission. If your child’s safety is at immediate risk, you can remove them straight away while the formal registration is being processed. A medical or psychologist certificate can support that step. 4. Your child will not fall behind, and the “gap” often helps Euka delivers the same state-based curriculum as your child’s school, mapped to the Australian Curriculum and the relevant state syllabus. Lessons are designed to be picked up at any point. There is a thing Ellen calls “the gap” that matters here. When a child is in a stressful situation at school, the stress snowballs and the schoolwork in front of them stops going in. They are already falling behind, even while they are sitting in the classroom. Taking them out of that environment, even briefly, gives them the space to reset and regain composure. You are a product of your environment, and changing the environment changes the outcome. Many families find their child actually moves ahead once the day is built around how they learn best. 5. Year 11 and 12 students can switch too This is the one parents are most afraid of, and it is the one that almost always surprises them. In a traditional school, jumping out of Year 11 or 12 mid-year feels final. With Euka, it is not. The senior pathway recognises prior work, the assessment model uses upload-feedback-resubmit so students keep building their academic record, and Euka’s University Pathways include a partnership with Navitas that opens entry into more than 90 university colleges in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA, without an ATAR. “I was that parent that was worried, like, what about after? But my eldest has received a conditional offer to law, and she is knocking it out of the park.”— Barbara Bryan, Euka parent, Episode 43 6. If safety is at risk, you can act immediately The bullying numbers are why this point matters. One in three students now come to Euka because of bullying, and actionable cyberbullying complaints to the eSafety Commissioner have risen 37 per cent in the past year. When the situation has become unsafe, the decision to remove your child is a today decision. The registration can happen in the background while your child gets the space to recover. 7. You will not be the teacher The fear that holds the most parents back is the fear that they will have to become a maths teacher, a science teacher, an English teacher, all at once. They will not. The lessons are written and delivered by qualified teachers through the Euka platform; the parent’s role is to facilitate, not to instruct. You sit alongside your child, not in front of a whiteboard. Answered Questions Real questions Australian parents ask, answered through the practical experience of running Euka and supporting families through mid-year switches. Can I start homeschooling in the middle of the school year? + Yes. The Euka program is built to be started at any point in any term, and families enrol every day of the calendar year. There is no waiting until January, and no “missed window”. “You do not have to wait for January. You can just jump on into homeschooling, and it is going to adjust around you and adjust around your child.”— Ellen Brown The state-based registration runs faster mid-year because the home education units are not as swamped as they are at the start-of-year peak. If safety is the reason you are moving now, your child can begin at home while the formal paperwork is being processed. How do I register for homeschooling in New South Wales, Queensland or Victoria? + Every state runs its own home education registration process, and the requirements vary. Euka’s Registration Service was built to remove the guesswork. You fill out a short questionnaire, Euka prepares the documentation including the individualised curriculum learning plan, and you submit it to your state’s home education unit. “We had families spending weeks navigating department websites and trying to write their own education plan from scratch. We built the Registration Service so a parent could go from ‘I want to do this’ to ‘my application is in’ in days, not weeks.”— Brett Campbell, CEO Euka Future Learning The state-specific pages walk through what your state expects: homeschooling in NSW, homeschooling in Queensland, homeschooling in Victoria, and the full set sits on the Why Homeschool hub. Is it too late to start homeschooling in Year 11 or Year 12? + No. Year 11 and Year 12 are the years parents assume they cannot move out of, and it is the assumption that holds the most families back unnecessarily. Senior students who switch to Euka keep their prior academic work, continue building their transcript through the assessment program, and have access to Euka’s University Pathways. “The pathway concern is the one that worries every parent. It is also the one that has the clearest answer. There are now more than 90 university colleges in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA that accept our graduates through the Navitas partnership, without an ATAR.”— Brett Campbell For students who are not sure whether they want university, Ellen’s standard advice is to do the assessed pathway anyway, so the academic transcript exists if the decision changes later. What if my child is being bullied at school, do I need permission to leave? + No, you do not need the principal’s permission. Parents have the authority to withdraw their child and educate them at home; you notify the school, you do not ask. If the situation is unsafe, you can act immediately and complete the formal registration in parallel. The reality of bullying in Australian schools has shifted: one in three students who join Euka cite bullying as the reason, and the eSafety Commissioner reports a 37 per cent rise in actionable cyberbullying complaints in the past year. “If you do not see any signs of the school or the education department working to fix the problem, get out. I regret every day of those six months.”— Barbara Bryan, Euka parent, Episode 43 Can homeschoolers still get into university without an ATAR? + Yes, and the pathway is well established. Euka’s senior students build an academic transcript through an upload-feedback-resubmit assessment model. That transcript, combined with a university entry or foundation course, gives them access to more than 90 university colleges through the Navitas partnership, including in the UK, Canada and the USA. For students aiming at competitive degrees like law or medicine, this is a real, established route. For students who are unsure, doing the assessed pathway keeps the door open. How long does it take to switch from school to homeschooling with Euka? + Faster than most parents expect. The first practical day at home can be the day you decide; the formal registration runs in the background. Euka’s Registration Service typically prepares the documentation in days, and mid-year submissions tend to be processed faster than start-of-year ones because the state units are not as overloaded. The biggest delay is rarely the paperwork. It is the decision itself. Why This Episode Matters Mid-year is not a compromise, it is often the better window. If the school year started badly, or if something has changed for your family in the last few months, you do not have to ride it out until January. The state systems are calmer, the curriculum picks you up where you are, and the gap between deciding and starting can be days. Year 11 and 12 are not closed doors. The line that “they have to stay in school to finish” is the most common misconception we hear. Senior students switch to Euka mid-year, keep building their transcript, and walk into university through Euka’s University Pathways without needing an ATAR. Safety is a today decision. With bullying behind one in three Euka enrolments, and cyberbullying complaints up sharply, the choice to act is rarely about “if”. It is about how fast. Your Family, Your Journey If you have been wondering whether you have left it too late, you have not. Mid-year families start with Euka every week of the term, and most look back wishing they had started sooner.

Have you ever wondered why Capital One's approval decisions feel completely random - approval for some, denial for others, with almost no rhyme or reason? Capital One has a well-earned reputation for being unpredictable with credit card approvals. When Katie from Katie's Travel Tricks saw the launch of the new Capital One Business Venture card, she decided to move beyond anecdotes and collect real data. She surveyed her audience about their approval and denial experiences, gathered nearly 150 responses, and analyzed the patterns using data to answer the questions everyone has been asking: what actually matters to Capital One? Katie and I break down what her data revealed about the three strongest approval predictors, why the conventional wisdom about waiting six months between Capital One applications might not be accurate, which metrics matter (credit score, hard inquiries, pre-approval status) and which ones surprisingly don't, and how business structure (sole proprietor versus LLC) impacts your approval chances. We also discuss what role the Capital One Business Venture Card plays in your overall rewards strategy and how to think about it within the larger Capital One ecosystem.

While most investors have been rattled by the tax overhaul, the biggest risk right now isn't the budget itself, but how lenders are reacting to it, with pre-approvals increasingly unreliable and buyers at risk of being caught mid-deal. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant speaks with Eva Loisance, principal at Finni Mortgages, about the post-budget lending shake-up and what it means for investors trying to secure finance in an increasingly unpredictable environment. Loisance explains that pre-approvals are no longer a safe assumption, with some lenders already stripping out negative gearing from servicing models while others hold the line pending clearer legislation. She warns the real impact is already hitting borrowing power, with modelling showing some dual-income households could lose close to 30 per cent in lending capacity if servicing rules fully exclude negative gearing benefits. As uncertainty flows through the system, lenders are tightening conditions, reassessing risk, and quietly reshaping what investors can actually borrow – well before any law is finalised. The episode also explores how investors may pivot, including a shift toward new-build stock that retains tax treatment advantages, despite higher costs limiting feasibility for many. Loisance flags potential flow-on effects into the rental market, with investors forced to chase yield more aggressively as tax efficiency is stripped back and holding costs rise.

Kia ora. Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the US and Iran have apparently agreed a 60 day truce, pending Trump's signoff. All the while, both sides traded attacks in the region. The small number of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz has virtually dried up. Meanwhile, US jobless claims slipped last week to 185,600 and by about what seasonal factors would have indicated. There are now 1.68 mln people on these benefits, less than one and two years ago. There was a sharp drop in new home sales reported for April, and they were -11.3% lower than year ago levels. Rising mortgage rates is weighing heavily on this sector. But they reported a sharp increase in durable goods orders in April, up +19% from a year ago, up notably from March. This is where we see the full effect of stockpiling as buyers try to get ahead of rising inflation. One reason was a +41% jump in capital goods on the same basis. But excluding defense and aircraft orders, the increase was modest. The second estimate of GDP growth for Q1-2026 is out and it was revised lower, mainly on lower consumer spending and investment levels than in the initial estimate. They now say the US economy expanded +1.6% in the period. They also released the April data for US personal income and personal spending. This showed that personal disposable income fell from March, up +2.5% from a year ago, while personal consumption expenditures rose, up +5.9% from a year ago. In fact, their April PCE inflation measure rose to 3.8%, its highest since May 2023 and the end of the pandemic effect, and prior to that the highest since this data was collated in 2017. Undoubtedly, this has the Fed's attention, especially the accelerating nature of it. US crude oil and petrol stocks fell again last week, but 'only' by about the levels expected. that extends the fall to five consecutive weeks, all substantial, and coming after three prior weeks of modest or no-change outcomes. Retail pump prices for petrol are still +48% higher than at the start of the Iran-US conflict and closure of the Strait of Hormuz. There was a US Treasury 7yr note auction overnight and the yield increase was not as fierce as yesterday's event. This one delivered a median yield of 4.24% (high 4.29%), up from the 4.12% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. In Canada, their central bank has released and updated Financial Stability Report which found that Canada's financial system has functioned well through a challenging year. Households and businesses remain in stable financial condition, and banks have strengthened their capacity to absorb shocks. Meanwhile they reported that average weekly earnings rose +3.5% in March from a year ago, a faster pace of increase. They have CPI inflation of +2.8% at the same time so Canadian employees are generally staying ahead of the cost pressures. The Korean central bank kept its official rate unchanged yesterday at 2.5%, as expected. Updated Australian household spending data for April shows it fell -1.1% month-on-month (on a current price, seasonally adjusted basis) to be +4.9% higher than in April 2025. In the same period CPI inflation rose 4.2%. The weak outcome is being attributed to the sharp hike in fuel costs, and compensating pullbacks elsewhere. It is their first fall in household spending in four months. And staying in Australia, they said private new capital expenditure rose +6.5% in the March quarter to be +14.6% higher than the March 2025 quarter. This strong growth is largely on the back of significant investment in data centers, up +96% and a new record high. Investment in mining was flat. The Middle East war lead to a -3.4% fall in air passenger demand in April. But Asia/Pacific international demand rose +3.0% from a year ago. For air cargo, demand was up +4.0% despite the turmoil, up +11.3% in the Asia/Pacific region. Global container shipping freight rates rose +3.2% last week from the prior week to be +12% higher than year-ago levels. This is largely driven by rates from China to the EU. Transpacific rates from China to the US West Coast actually fell last week. As did trade volumes. Meanwhile bulk cargo rates rose +4.4% last week, to be a massive +140% higher than a year ago. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.45%, down -3 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today up +US$57 at US$4506/oz. Silver is back up +US$1.50 at just under US$76/oz. Oil prices have fallen -50 USc to just on US$89/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now at US$93.50/bbl and down -US$1.50/bbl. The Kiwi dollar is up +40 bps from yesterday at this time at 59.3 USc. Against the Aussie we are up +20 bps at 82.8 AUc. Against the euro we are also up +20 bps at just under 50.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.8 which is up +40 bps from yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$73,455 and down -1.8% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just under +/- 2.0%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and because Monday is a New Zealand holiday, we'll do this again on Tuesday.
#280: Learn how to dramatically improve your odds of getting approved for the credit cards you actually want. Chris breaks down the hidden system every bank uses to evaluate applications, why your credit score matters far less than what's on your report, and the real factors driving denials, from credit-to-income ratios to recent inquiries to each issuer's internal model. He also walks through what to do before you apply, how to sequence applications across issuers, and the right moves to make after a denial.

In this episode I discuss bioequivalence testing and how it was developed to support generic drug approvals, but is now a mainstream tool for all of drug development. I discuss the basics of what bioequivalence means, how the studies are designed, and then how to perform the statistical analysis. I end with some examples of how this can be used for both generic drug and innovator drugs to support labeling.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (5.20) It’s the Wednesday before Memorial Day weekend and people are already starting to get out of town. But many plans have changed because of the wildfires in Simi Valley and Ventura County. Is it air purifier season? And it’s the last Memorial Day to hang out at Primm before the resort closes forever! Are you going to the beach for Memorial Day weekend? If so, for heaven’s sake do not pick Santa Monica, because the area around Santa Monica Pier ranks No. 1 as the dirtiest beach in California. If you live in Rancho Palos Verdes, it’s a nightmare to undergo home renovations because you’re at the mercy of overly restrictive regulations. Approvals are often costly and unnecessary, and many homeowners just give up. And if they draw attention to it, they may face repercussions from the Palos Verdes Home Association & Art Jury.

If your write-up is weak… your paycheck is leaking. Period. In this episode, I'm going straight at one of the most overlooked, but most expensive breakdowns in your service department: the quality of your RO write-up. We're talking about the real impact of vague notes, rushed conversations, and missed questions and how they quietly destroy technician productivity, create comebacks, slow down approvals, and chip away at your income. I break down exactly how to level up your write-up process, what questions actually matter, and how to position yourself as the translator between your customer and your technician. This is one of those "simple but not easy" skills that separates average advisors from top earners. Better notes = faster diagnosis, smoother workflow, stronger trust, and more money in your pocket.

Greek golden visa approvals jumped nearly 96% in 2025, and the government just dropped a 31-page circular targeting fake deals fueling the boom. In this video, you'll learn the new fraud rules, the €250,000 option that survives, and why the Airbnb ban is narrower than the headlines suggest.Read the full story here.
The federal government says demand for parent visas will always outstrip Australia's capacity to grant them. With places capped at 8,500, high demand continues to drive long waiting times. Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Customs and Multicultural Affairs Julian Hill says the government has increased the number of visas granted and is open to considering changes. In this podcast, we speak to an Indian Australian Sunita Kalkal who says the long wait is difficult and is urging the government to develop new policies.
A new private member's bill is proposing to speed up the approval of agricultural products in Canada by relying more heavily on decisions made in other countries. Bill C-273, the Facilitating Agricultural Regulatory Modernization Act, would amend several federal laws, including the Feeds Act, Fertilizers Act, Seeds Act and Pest Control Products Act. It proposes a system allow products already approved in at least two "trusted jurisdictions" to receive provisional approval in Canada within 90 days of a complete application. The bill, introduced by Conservative MP for Bow River, Alberta, David Bexte, defines "trust jurisdictions" as foreign governments or regions designated through regulation. That could include jurisdictions like the EU, the U.K., the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand.

Biogen, Eli Lilly and Merck spent more than $20 billion in the past week to swallow biotechs with approved products or promising drug candidates—representing three of this year's four biggest takeovers. First, Merck picked up Terns Pharmaceuticals and its mid-stage leukemia drug for $6.7 billion. Then, on Tuesday, Lilly and Biogen struck, acquiring Centessa Pharmaceuticals and Apellis Pharmaceuticals respectively.Those big-ticket deals aren't the only recent transactions, however. Others include Novartis' up to $2 billion pick up of Excellergy and Gilead's $2.1 billion purchase of Ouro Medicines. Meanwhile, Kevin Tang—the newly minted CEO of Aurinia Pharmaceuticals—again has his sights set on Kezar Life Sciences, which he previously targeted in 2024. This time, biopharma's “clean-up” man is offering $50 million for the chronic disease–focused biotech.Last week also saw nods for Denali Therapeutics' Avlayah, the first treatment for Hunter syndrome to target the disease's neurological complications, and Rocket Pharmaceuticals' Kresladi for leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I. And it's been a big week for Biogen, which besides moving on Apellis, won approval of a high-dose formulation of spinal muscular atrophy drug Spinraza and scored a Phase 2 win for lupus candidate litifilimab in cutaneous lupus erythematosus.On the weight loss front, Wave Life Sciences' stock was cut in half after its obesity candidate WVE-007 failed to impress investors in a Phase 1 trial.
Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the fast-paced changes shaping these sectors, focusing on the latest scientific breakthroughs, regulatory shifts, and industry trends.First off, Denali Therapeutics has achieved a significant milestone with FDA approval for its enzyme replacement therapy targeting Hunter syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. This therapy addresses neurological complications that have been challenging to treat, marking a pivotal moment for the rare disease community. Hunter syndrome is characterized by enzyme deficiencies leading to harmful accumulations in the body. The availability of this treatment not only provides new hope for patients but also underscores the potential of targeted therapies to manage complex neurological symptoms effectively.In oncology, Corcept Therapeutics has secured FDA approval for Lifyorli (relacorilant), designed for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients who have already undergone multiple lines of systemic treatment. This approval highlights the critical importance of strategic clinical trial design and persistent regulatory engagement, expanding treatment options for a patient population with limited alternatives.Meanwhile, Ionis Pharmaceuticals made headlines by slashing the annual price of Tryngolza by 93% ahead of its intended label expansion for severe hypertriglyceridemia. This strategic move aims to make the drug more accessible and capture a broader market share while addressing pricing pressures from regulators and patients alike. Such pricing strategies might set new precedents in the industry, particularly for drugs initially developed for rare diseases now targeting more common conditions.The funding landscape presents challenges as biopharma investment has dropped 20% in 2025. Companies are now prioritizing high-impact projects over broader portfolios, reflecting a shift towards focused R&D investments. This cautious climate may accelerate breakthroughs in prioritized areas yet poses risks if diversification is neglected.Regulatory dynamics are also in flux. The departure of Dr. Robert Malone from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices highlights ongoing tensions within vaccine advisory panels. These developments underscore the intricate balance between scientific evidence, public health policy, and stakeholder communication in guiding vaccine-related decisions.Technological advancements continue to reshape operations within life sciences companies. AI-driven platforms are playing a vital role in enhancing Medical-Legal-Regulatory processes by offering adaptable solutions that transcend traditional automation limits. This innovation is crucial for organizations aiming to optimize regulatory compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.In medical devices, Philips' AI-powered cath lab copilot has gained FDA clearance in collaboration with Edwards Lifesciences. This technology assists in transcatheter mitral valve repair—a complex procedure requiring precision and real-time data analysis—illustrating how AI can significantly enhance procedural outcomes and patient safety.Shifting focus to genetic therapies, Beam Therapeutics has shown promising progress with its base editing technology for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), potentially revolutionizing treatment approaches for genetic disorders. Similarly, Sarepta Therapeutics is advancing RNA-based treatments with positive biomarker data for muscular dystrophies, reinforcing RNA therapies as viable alternatives or complements to traditional gene therapies.However, not all news is positive. Wave Life Sciences faced a setback when its obesity drug candidate showed only a modest reduction in body weight over six months. This highlights the competitive pressures and high expectations within metabolic disoSupport the show

A reminder that you can find the sources and links and a transcript and more info for every story mentioned here in the show notes. Who's in Vegas? I'll see you there at the Breakthrough T1D summit this weekend. And we have two Club 1921 events for health care providers and patient leaders happening in April – head on over to the website for more. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Metformin may be linked to the slower progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Among people with diabetes who were older than 55, those taking metformin had a 37% lower chance of developing intermediate AMD over a five-year period compared with individuals who were not using the medication. It's one of the leading causes of vision loss in the US and many other western countries. These researchers now say a clinical trial is the next step. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-discover-surprising-eye-benefit-of-widely-used-diabetes-drug/ XX new study suggests people with type 1 diabetes may be nearly three times as likely to develop dementia compared with people without diabetes. Similarly, people with type 2 diabetes may have roughly twice the risk of dementia compared with those without diabetes. However, the study found an association rather than proof of causation, meaning diabetes was linked to dementia risk but was not shown to directly cause it. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2026-03-19/both-types-of-diabetes-increase-dementia-risk XX Researchers in Japan say they've developed an insulin pill… in mice. The study, published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, tested the delivery of oral insulin by building a carrier peptide called DNP-V. This peptide helps to transport insulin through the small intestine, where protein drug absorption is usually poor. The result was a rapid and significant drop in blood glucose, as well as a sustained (longer-term) decrease. The mice's blood sugar was reduced to near-normal levels. Although the researchers are optimistic about the findings translating to larger therapeutic models, they noted that the results in mice do not guarantee the same outcome in humans, and that more research is needed. https://www.foxnews.com/health/needle-free-diabetes-management-could-horizon-study-suggests XX Lilly says it's next-generation obesity drug retatutride cleared its first late-stage trial on Type 2 diabetes patients. The drug lowered hemoglobin A1C by an average of 1.7% to 2% across different doses at 40 weeks compared with placebo, and helped patients lose an average of 16.8% of their weight. Retatrutide also met the study's second goal, helping patients at the highest dose lose an average of 16.8% of their weight, or 36.6 pounds, at 40 weeks, when evaluating only patients who stayed on the drug. When analyzing all participants, including those who discontinued treatment, the highest dose of the drug helped patients lose 15.3% of their weight. The company was also "very pleased" with the relatively low discontinuation rates due to side effects, which were up to 5%, he added. But Lilly has yet to file for approval of the drug for obesity or diabetes. The company expects to report findings from seven additional phase three trials on the drug by the end of the year. Still, retatrutide's A1C reduction doesn't appear to be the greatest Lilly has seen within its portfolio: The highest dose of Zepbound lowered the measure by more than 2% at 40 weeks in two separate trials on diabetes patients. Dubbed the "triple G" drug, retatrutide works by mimicking three hunger-regulating hormones – GLP-1, GIP and glucagon – rather than just one or two like existing treatments. That appears to have more potent effects on a person's appetite and satisfaction with food than other treatments. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/19/eli-lillys-obesity-drug-retatrutide-clears-late-stage-diabetes-trial.html XX The MiniMed Flex gets FDA approval. Thi is a new design from the company formerly known as Medtronic. It's about half the size* of the MiniMed™ 780G pump, no screen – smartphone controlled – and has the SmartGuard™ algorithm with Meal Detection™ technolog. At commercial launch, MiniMed Flex™ will support the company's newest sensor portfolio, including Simplera Sync™ sensor and the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott. MiniMed also announced the MiniMed™ Forward Program, which allows customers who start on the MiniMed™ 780G system to upgrade to the MiniMed Flex™ system for $0. MiniMed Flex™ is cleared for individuals ages 7 and older with type 1 diabetes, and for individuals 18 years and older with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/minimed-announces-fda-clearance-of-minimed-flex-the-companys-smallest-insulin-pump-featuring-its-first-smartphone-controlled-design-302716864.html XX Lots of new out of the recent ATTD conference.. some headlines: New study from the UK shows that Ketone Monitoring Could Significantly Reduce DKA Risks in people with type 1 and type 2. This was a study by Abbott which recently submitted a continuous dual glucose-ketone monitor to the FDA for clearance – if approved, it could be available in the U.S. later this year. -- The first modified insulin producing cells are still working 14 months after transplant – without the need for immunosuppressive drugs. This is from Sana which now plans a study of a new therapy.. same gene-editing strategy with lab-grown, stem-cell-derived insulin-producing cells. -- Protein looks like it helps avoid lows during exercise. Both high and low doses of whey protein before exercise were effective, significantly reducing the risk of hypoglycemia by five to 10 times. Researchers noted that the body's response to protein was rapid (within 20 minutes), which suggests taking it close to the beginning of exercise could be beneficial for preventing hypoglycemia. Though more research is needed, there was also evidence showing protein intake could be beneficial for prolonged fasting and preventing overnight lows. -- More info about type 1 and GLP medications. Researchers at ATTD presented the results of a small, seven-month study assessing the effectiveness of semaglutide for people with type 1 diabetes and obesity. During the trial, 36% of participants taking semaglutide spent more than 70% of their time in range, less than 4% of their time below range, and lost more than 5% of their body weight compared to those not taking semaglutide. Treatment with semaglutide was also associated with reductions in cholesterol and blood pressure. Based on all of these changes, the researchers calculated that the participants who received semaglutide had significantly reduced their risk of heart disease over the next 10 years. Other studies show that since 2020, prescriptions of GLP-1 medications have grown exponentially for adults with type 1 diabetes between the ages of 18 and 85. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/top-diabetes-news-attd-2026 XX Lots of talk about fully closed loops.. CamDiab unveiled theirs.. called Liberty.. which the company says it's the world's first fully closed loop commercial launch. CamDiab offers the FDA-approved mylife CamAPS FX app for automating insulin delivery in MyLife's (formerly Ypsomed Diabetes Care's) insulin delivery pumps. The mylife CamAPS FX on iOS has full compatibility with leading continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Those include the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus from Abbott and the Dexcom G6 so customers can use their preferred device. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/camdiab-unveils-fully-closed-loop-insulin-feature/ XX Insulet reported data on a fully closed-loop automated insulin delivery system in people with Type 2 diabetes. The 24 people in the trial spent 24% more time in the target blood glucose range using the system than when receiving standard injection therapy. Insulet plans to start a pivotal study this year and aims to launch in 2028. Rival insulin pump manufacturer Tandem is on a similar course. Tandem CEO John Sheridan told investors on an earnings call last month that his team plans to start a pivotal trial this year to support a filing with the Food and Drug Administration in 2027. Medtronic disclosed the start of a pivotal trial of its Vivera fully closed-loop algorithm last month, shortly before spinning off the program as part of the MiniMed initial public offering. The algorithm, which is designed to eliminate carb counting and manual food bolusing, achieved a mean time in range of 73.8% without manual user input in a feasibility study. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/insulet-posts-clinical-data-on-fully-closed-loop-insulin-delivery-system/814516/ XX Congrats to all honored by the 2026 National Scientific and Health Care Achievement Awards from the American Diabetes Association!

The global medical device regulatory environment is complex, often requiring manufacturers to repeat similar submissions and audits across multiple countries. This duplication slows innovation and delays patient access to life-saving technologies.To address this challenge, international regulators are increasingly collaborating through the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF).In this podcast episode, Stephanie Grassmann (MedTechXperts) joins us to discuss how the concept of Regulatory Reliance is transforming global medical device approvals.What is IMDRF?The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) is a voluntary group of regulatory authorities working together to harmonize medical device regulations and reduce duplication across global markets.Members include major regulatory bodies such as:• United States (FDA)• European Union• Australia (TGA)• Brazil (ANVISA)• Canada (Health Canada)• China (NMPA)Their mission is to promote efficient regulation while maintaining high standards of safety and performance.Understanding Regulatory RelianceRegulatory reliance allows one authority to give significant weight to the work already performed by another trusted regulator.Instead of repeating full assessments, authorities can leverage existing evaluations, reducing regulatory burden while maintaining confidence in safety and effectiveness.Real-World Success StoriesSeveral regulators are already demonstrating the benefits of reliance mechanisms.Australia – TGAA Class III Mitral Valve Clip reached market access in just 20 working days after the regulator accepted evidence generated overseas.Argentina – ANMATDental instruments known as endodontic barbed broaches were approved in 9 working days using reliance pathways.Brazil – ANVISACompanies holding MDSAP certification may skip immediate on-site audits, saving both time and money during market entry.These examples show how regulatory cooperation can significantly accelerate approvals.The Role of MDSAPThe Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) allows manufacturers to undergo a single regulatory audit recognized by multiple countries.This program plays a key role in enabling reliance between regulatory authorities and reducing redundant inspections.The European PerspectiveEurope has historically maintained a distinct regulatory framework under EU MDR and IVDR.However, recent proposals—including references to Articles 108a and 108b—suggest increasing collaboration with international frameworks such as IMDRF and MDSAP.While a single global approval system remains a long-term goal, reliance initiatives are already demonstrating that cooperation between regulators can improve efficiency without compromising safety.Looking AheadFor manufacturers and startups, embracing international regulatory frameworks early—such as MDSAP and IMDRF guidance—can significantly improve global market access strategies.As regulatory collaboration grows, the future of medical device approvals may become faster, more harmonized, and more patient-centered.Who is Monir El Azzouzi?

These approvals not only reflect regulatory progress but also emphasize the critical role of persistence in drug development.Ethical considerations remain at the forefront of industry discussions, particularly highlighted by Novartis' settlement in a lawsuit concerning the use of Henrietta Lacks' cells without consent. This resolution underscores ongoing ethical challenges within biomedical research, emphasizing the need for ethical vigilance as companies increasingly rely on human-derived materials.Significant business trends are shaping strategic directions within the industry. Pfizer's acquisition of marketing rights for Sciwind's GLP-1 receptor agonist in China exemplifies a calculated move to dominate the obesity treatment market. This strategic acquisition allows Pfizer to leverage China's vast market potential for type 2 diabetes medications and positions it favorably for future weight loss treatments.On the manufacturing front, AbbVie has made substantial investments in U.S. infrastructure, committing $380 million to new North Chicago API plants as part of a decade-long strategy to inject $100 billion into U.S. operations. This initiative highlights a commitment to bolstering domestic production capabilities amidst global supply chain uncertainties.The complexities of drug development are further illustrated by Roche's decision to halt the development of Enspryng for Duchenne muscular dystrophy due to unsatisfactory progress. This shift in focus reflects the inherent challenges of drug repurposing and the necessity of robust clinical evidence to support new indications.Geopolitical factors also play a significant role in shaping industry dynamics, with recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions impacting international trade agreements. Such geopolitical influences can significantly affect pharmaceutical companies' operations and strategic planning.The collaboration between Astellas and Vir Biotechnology reflects another significant trend in strategic partnerships within the industry. Their $1.7 billion deal centered on a novel bispecific T-cell engager for prostate cancer underscores the growing importance of immuno-oncology and innovative approaches to targeting hard-to-treat cancers.The regulatory front continues to see transformative changes with the FDA unveiling draft guidance for a new approval pathway tailored for bespoke gene-editing therapies.

What does it take to win a competitive retail LOI today?Retail leases are moving fast again, and in East Tennessee, they are moving faster than most people think is possible.Chris Ressa talks with Lindsey Barden, founder of Dark Horse CRE, a tenant-rep-only broker covering Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the Tri-Cities. Her view from the ground is simple: vacancy is extremely low, the best spaces trade off-market, and retailers are routinely battling multiple LOIs for the same box. In the past six months, Lindsey says 80-to-90 percent of her deals have been competitive, forcing brands to show up ready to commit, pay closer to asking, and cut through internal red tape.Landlords are prioritizing certainty and speed, especially in second-generation space. The tenants winning deals are the ones asking for less work and fewer dollars from ownership, tightening timelines, and moving from “perfect protections” to more balanced lease terms.The proof point is a Crunch Fitness anchor lease that went from discovery to signed lease in roughly two weeks. No traditional LOI. Basic terms handled by email. Architects and contractors brought in immediately. Approvals happening across time zones. A two-level layout that required creative planning, not a cookie-cutter prototype. Two motivated parties decided the deal mattered, and executed like it.If you want a takeaway: stop treating leasing like a slow process. Treat it like a race. Speed wins.What You'll HearWhy East Tennessee is one of the tightest retail markets in the country — and what low vacancy really means for tenants trying to expand.What 80 to 90 percent competitive deal flow looks like in practice — multiple LOIs, limited second-generation space, and constant off-market conversations.How landlords are prioritizing certainty over creativity — why minimal TI, faster approvals, and fewer contingencies are winning deals.What retailers must change internally to compete — consolidating corporate review, accelerating decision-making, and committing earlier.How a Crunch Fitness anchor lease went from tour to signed in 14 days — no traditional LOI, creative problem solving on a two-level box, and approvals happening across time zones.Why speed is the ultimate differentiator in today's leasing environment — and how motivated parties can compress timelines dramatically.A thoughtful look at retail saturation vs. market expansion — coffee, chicken, gyms, and how to separate durable concepts from passing trends.The mindset shift required to win in 2026 retail real estate — treat leasing less like a negotiation marathon and more like a sprint.Chapters00:00 – Meet Lindsey BardenA 20-year tenant rep veteran shares her journey from Virginia brokerage to founding Dark Horse CRE in East Tennessee.08:15 – Why East Tennessee Is So CompetitiveLindsey breaks down Knoxville's low vacancy,...

In episode #97 of “The Weekly Bioanalysis” podcast, John and Dom focus on a review of 2025 drug approvals, revealing a surprisingly strong year for small molecules despite long-standing predictions of their decline. Of the 53 FDA approvals, 31 were small molecules, with additional complexity coming from ADCs and RNAi therapies, underscoring the continued importance of small-molecule development and analytics. The hosts also compare U.S. and European approvals, noting meaningful differences driven by regulatory timing and regional priorities rather than scientific divergence. They highlight encouraging momentum in ADCs, the role of acquisitions in successful approvals, and a broad mix of indications—from rare diseases and oncology to neurology and vaccines. Overall, the episode reinforces that innovation remains diverse, with small molecules, large molecules, and conjugated technologies all playing critical roles in modern drug development.

In March 2022, Dr. Joseph Fraiman taped an internal call between FDA directors and physicians who were concerned about mRNA side effects in their patients – including the cardiac arrest and sudden death of a 7-year-old days after being injected with Pfizer's mRNA vaccine. “This was a top level meeting of directors,” Dr. Fraiman revealed to Ask Dr. Drew in Sept 2023. “This entire meeting terrified my entire work group.” The call – legally recorded by Dr. Fraiman – included FDA Director Dr. Peter Marks, Dr. Peter Doshi, Dr. Celia Witten, Dr. Sarah Walinsky, Dr. Lorrie McNeill, and many other experts. “What they're saying here is they're not doing statistical testing on adverse events. This is really insane to me,” Dr. Fraiman continued. “You know there's a problem if the vaccine group has a higher rate of them.” Dr. Joseph Fraiman, MD is an emergency physician and clinical researcher focused on harm-benefit analysis. He served as Medical Manager of Louisiana's Urban Search Rescue Disaster Task Force 1 and is lead author of a widely known re-analysis of mRNA vaccine serious harms.
