When Congress returns from spring break next week, its first order of business will be writing a budget reconciliation bill that's expected to cut taxes but also make deep cuts to Medicaid. But at least some Republicans are concerned about cutting a program that aids so many of their constituents. Also this week, the Supreme Court heard a case that could threaten the availability of no-cost preventive care under the Affordable Care Act. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Tami Luhby of CNN, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these breaking stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Rae Ellen Bichell about her story on how care for transgender minors is changing in Colorado. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: MedPage Today's “Medical Journals Get Letters From DOJ,” by Kristina Fiore. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The New York Times' “A Scientist Is Paid to Study Maple Syrup. He's Also Paid to Promote it,” by Will Evans, Ellen Gabler, and Anjali Tsui. Sarah Karlin-Smith: The Tampa Bay Times' “Countering DeSantis, $10M Hope Florida Donation Came From Medicaid, Draft Shows,” by Alexandra Glorioso and Lawrence Mower. Tami Luhby: Stat's “In Ireland, a Global Hub for the Pharma Industry, Trump Tariffs Are a Source of Deep Worry,” by Andrew Joseph. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma e Biotech world.The FDA's accelerated approval pathway, established in 1992 to expedite the approval of drugs for serious conditions, has been under scrutiny due to recent market withdrawals and failed confirmatory trials. Despite these setbacks, the program has successfully brought over 200 new drugs to market, with more than half ultimately receiving full FDA approval. The accelerated approval pathway has been particularly successful in the cancer space, but is now expanding to include treatments for neurological, rare, and genetic diseases.Recent withdrawals of drugs like Pfizer's Oxbryta for sickle cell disease and Biogen's Aduhelm for Alzheimer's have raised concerns about the risk-benefit proposition of the accelerated approval pathway. To improve the program, experts suggest implementing tighter completion timelines for confirmatory trials and better understanding which biomarkers should be used as surrogate endpoints. Overall, the accelerated approval pathway has been effective in bringing innovative treatments to patients quickly, but there is a need for greater scrutiny and oversight to ensure the safety and efficacy of these drugs. ## A new study published in Nature Communications highlights the potential of CRISPR gene editing technology to treat genetic diseases. Researchers successfully used CRISPR to correct a mutation in blood stem cells from patients with sickle cell disease, demonstrating the potential for this technology to provide a cure for genetic disorders. The study paves the way for future clinical trials using CRISPR to treat a wide range of genetic diseases, offering hope for patients with conditions that currently have limited treatment options.The study published in Nature Communications showcases the promising potential of CRISPR gene editing technology in treating genetic diseases. Researchers were able to correct a mutation in blood stem cells from patients with sickle cell disease, indicating that this technology could potentially offer a cure for genetic disorders. This breakthrough opens up possibilities for future clinical trials utilizing CRISPR to address a variety of genetic diseases, providing optimism for individuals with conditions that are currently difficult to treat. ## The World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced that it will establish a new global hub for pandemic and epidemic intelligence in Berlin, Germany.

Few countries match India for its vast variety of people, cultures, languages, and of course, styles of cuisine.While most of us appreciate different aspects of this vast and colorful nation, few of us have a worthy appreciation of the role India has played in shaping civilizations outside of India. Many languages have an ancestral relationship with Sanskrit, the original spoken language of India. Vedic astrologers were centuries ahead of their European counterparts when it came to understanding the movement of celestial objects. India played a pivotal role in shaping the way we use numbers, being among the first (if not the first) to introduce zero as a number. And many modern myths and legends can be traced back to Vedic literature.While it would take multiple series of documentaries to celebrate the ancient Indian influence on modern life, in this episode Thom celebrates the most crucial contribution India has made, and preserved, over the centuries. It's an influence that continues to play a crucial role today, and will do so for millenia to come.If you'd like to experience India first hand with Thom, he invites you to join him on his annual retreat, held in January each year.

Last week the government announced that it has allocated ₹19,744 crore for a National Green Hydrogen Mission. The Mission will aim to make India a ‘global hub' for producing, using and exporting green Hydrogen. India is not alone in formulating a green hydrogen strategy, or in setting aside big money for developing the country into a global hug for green hydrogen. In the last 18 months or so, several developing countries have zeroed in on green hydrogen, which is viewed by many as a silver bullet of sorts for decarbonisation. How will the National Green Hydrogen Mission be implemented? How does green hydrogen fit in with India's energy consumption profile? Does India have the manufacturing base to develop itself into a green hydrogen hub? 

On July 6, 1998, the last flight took off from Kai Tak International Airport, marking the end of an era for Hong Kong aviation. For decades, international flights flew over the roofs of Kowloon apartments, before landing on Kai Tak's runway, extending out into the harbor. Kai Tak–frankly, a terrible place for one of the world's busiest international airports–is a good symbol of the story of Hong Kong's aviation, as told in Hong Kong Takes Flight: Commercial Aviation and the Making of a Global Hub, 1930s–1998 (Harvard University Press, 2022) by John D. Wong and published by Harvard University Press. Hong Kong's growth as a hub for commercial aviation was often unplanned, often the result of compromise–and yet wildly successful. The city was able to carve a niche for itself, in both the declining British empire and the wider world, while also having to deal with colonial bureaucracy, geopolitics, fierce competition and an entirely new Communist government across the border. In this interview, John and I talk about Hong Kong's history with aviation, from its very start with flying boats and puddlejumpers right through to the jumbo jet era. John D. Wong is Associate Professor at the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, The University of Hong Kong. He is also the author of Global Trade in the Nineteenth Century: The House of Houqua and the Canton System (Cambridge University Press, 2016) You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of Hong Kong Takes Flight.

On July 6, 1998, the last flight took off from Kai Tak International Airport, marking the end of an era for Hong Kong aviation. For decades, international flights flew over the roofs of Kowloon apartments, before landing on Kai Tak's runway, extending out into the harbor. Kai Tak–frankly, a terrible place for one of the world's busiest international airports–is a good symbol of the story of Hong Kong's aviation, as told in Hong Kong Takes Flight: Commercial Aviation and the Making of a Global Hub, 1930s–1998 (Harvard University Press, 2022) by John D.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing the EA Gather Town Event Hall as a global hub for online events, published by Emrik on August 13, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The EAGT Event Hall (contact) is a virtual space neighbouring the main EA Gather Town (EAGT) for hosting conferences, talks, discussion groups, and more. It looks kinda like a game, but whatever, I think there are strong reasons to prefer this platform over alternatives. More on that later. We're testing the space for the first time with our unconference on Sunday 12:30 UTC. We'd appreciate it if you joined to help us test it out! You'll also be helping us kickstart something that might turn into a noteworthy part of EA infrastructure. Our hope is that this will be one of many online events organically hosted here by various EA groups around the world. The main point of this post is that having a central venue for online events will help build and maintain an always-active meeting place for the EA community. Events hosted in the Hall will help familiarise people with using the space generally for coworking together, making connections, and having valuable conversations. Insofar as EAG conferences produce value by connecting people from across the world who then fly back to where they live, EAGT produces value for many of the same reasons without having to pay for the flight ticket in advance. How does it work? When I step near another person's character, our audio and video connects and I can engage them in a heated debate on the monistic ontology of blueberry muffins. Alternatively, I could book Auditorium A and lecture an entire hall about it. When I'm next to one of the microphones, I can broadcast to the entire room, but I cannot hear anyone in the audience unless I right-click to "spotlight" them. This comes in handy when e.g. they have their hand raised and I want their question to be heard by everyone. The audience hearing range is limited to include the speaker and the two people sitting right next to them. This allows them to speak to their neighbours if they wish without disturbing anyone else. Example event: The Unconference The easiest way to explain what you can do in the space is probably just to take you through our agenda for the unconference as an example. Feel free to take notes, or contact us and we'd be happy to help organise something here or just answer your questions. Before the event, we've emailed a document with some information for the speakers to help prepare them for the event. 1. Courtyard & intro When first logging into the space, everyone will spawn near the Earth portal (see image) that links the EAGT Event Hall and the EA coworking and lounge space, where the community is usually found coworking, talking, or socialising. When the event starts, Nguyên will give an introduction (broadcasting from the stage in the image) and share some practical information (like the fact that you can raise your hand with 6 and put it down again with 0). We will then proceed through the door northeast of the stage. 2. Foyer & browsing From the Foyer, all the session rooms can be found. The full schedule is linked via the big blue poster but you can also see it on the signs above each room. Two sessions will be held in parallel, and the participants may decide for themselves which room to enter. They are also encouraged to just roam, connect, and explore the main space through the portal. 3. Session rooms & group discussions & embeddable Padlets Each session lasts 30 minutes, but how it's structured is up to the speakers. For example, they could talk for 5 minutes, have 5 minutes for taking questions directly from the audience, and then 20 minutes where each table discusses among themselves and jots ideas/feedback down on their Padlets (unique per table). There are a maximum of 5 chairs per table, because bigg...

It is time for another episode. I am Heneka Watkis-Porter, the host and creator of The Entrepreneurial You podcast if you are new here. So last week I had the pleasure of speaking with one of Jamaica's most famed business leaders, a guest who we can all say, needs no introduction. It was refreshing to hear from someone who has come from a famous business family but was also brave enough to venture out on his own to establish himself in his own right. Gary Matalon left several gems with us. If you missed it, I invite you to go check out that episode, you'd be glad you did. This week, it is my pleasure to speak with a fast-rising entrepreneur whose visionary scope is to make Jamaica the Global Hub of data and A.I. innovation to drive job creation and economic growth. I am already excited about what is about to go down. Opening business Tip courtesy of the National PC Bank of Jamaica: Focus on Building your Customer's Experience.

Ever been to an Ayurvedic wellness centre in Kerala, one of those tranquil resorts in a tropical setting?   They offer treatments for everything – from depression to hair loss, in a way that they claim is holistic. The effectiveness of these healing processes is difficult to gauge. But if their popularity with foreign nationals is anything to go by, people do believe that they help. According to Kerala tourism, nearly 35 per cent of the foreign tourists who visit the state are repeat visitors seeking Ayurveda treatments. About 1.2 million international tourists visited Kerala in 2019. Clearly, there is an economic opportunity here, and the government wants to ensure that India can tap into it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Wednesday that special visas would be offered to those coming to India to undergo AYUSH treatments. He was inaugurating the Global AYUSH Investment and Innovation Summit in Gujarat. This decision is meant to boost medical tourism in traditional medicine. India's medical tourism sector in 2020 was estimated to be worth 5-6 billion dollars. AYUSH visas could push that number up. Many of the factors that led to the success of medical tourism in India, from the quality of allied sectors such as hospitality to affordability, are likely to apply to medical tourism in traditional medicine too.   The industry is also well-placed to take advantage. According to a report by Research and Information System for Developing Countries, AYUSH has seen its market size grow by 17 per cent between 2014 and 2020 to reach 18.1 billion dollars. According to the report, the AYUSH industry was projected to reach 20.6 billion dollars in 2021 and 23.3 billion dollars in 2022. Special visas weren't the only measures announced either. Prime Minister Modi also said that the government would soon launch an ‘AYUSH mark' for standardisation and authentication of quality AYUSH products in the global market. As part of the initiative, farmers will be connected to better-managed supply chains for medicinal plants. And, technology will be used to vet these products before being given the standardisation mark.     Till 2019, according to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, India's share in the global export of herbs and herbal products was assessed to be only 120 billion dollars. When the ministry refers to herbs and herbal products, AYUSH products are also included. However, there is also a serious challenge that India will have to overcome before it can become a global hub for traditional healing.   Success will depend on ensuring that traditional Indian medicine meets global standards. This is vital since such systems have often come to be associated with frauds. So, a major question remains. Will India be able to establish the credibility of these traditional systems by reducing rampant quackery?

Fortune recently ranked Dan Schulman, CEO of PayPal, near the top of its annual World's Greatest Leaders list, and as long-term shareholders of PayPal, we agree with their assessment. We have watched Dan lead PayPal's ongoing growth into a digital platform responsible for more than $1 trillion in payments globally last year. In addition, he has been steadfast and outspoken about the role of business in society and the need to modify capitalism. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with Dan during our latest episode of the NOW Podcast. Brown Advisory's Ken Coe spoke with Dan about how he views his employees as his number one constituency; PayPal's role in providing working capital and creating virtuous cycles in low-income neighborhoods; the future of financial technology; the need for all of us to rise above our own self-interest to drive progress for all, and more. To wrap up the discussion, Ken brought in Jake Cusack and Efe Braimah from our frontier markets partner, CrossBoundary, to continue the conversation about opportunities in the fintech sector and making a difference. Guest:Dan Schulman, President and CEO, PayPalHost:Ken Coe, CFA, Equity Research Analyst, Brown Advisory Investment Commentary:Efe Braimah, Associate Principal, CrossBoundaryJake Cusack, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, CrossBoundaryRecommending Listening: What COVID-19 Means for the Future of Commerce, Capitalism and Cash, TED2020, May 2020 Never Stand Still with Dan Schulman Recommended reading: What is Stakeholder Capitalism?, World Economic Forum, January 22, 2021 PayPal 2020 Global Impact Report  Kenya is Becoming a Global Hub of FinTech Innovation, Harvard Dan Schulman of PayPal on Guns, Cash and Getting Punched, The New York Times, July 27, 2018 Thank you for joining us on our podcast journey.

Nach 20 Jahren am Hindukusch haben in dieser Woche die letzten US-Soldaten Afghanistan verlassen. Ulrich Ladurner, Politikredakteur der ZEIT ordnet ein, warum diese nächste Phase des Afghanistan-Konflikts für ihn auch das Ende der sogenannten Responsibility to Protect bedeutet, des völkerrechtlichen Prinzips, bei schweren Menschenrechtsverbrechen von außen einzugreifen. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO will auf kommende Pandemien besser vorbereitet sein und rüstet auf: In Berlin wird an diesem Mittwoch der sogenannte Global Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence vorgestellt – eine Institution, um künftig Pandemien frühzeitig erkennen und wenn möglich verhindern zu können. Jakob Simmank, Leiter des Gesundheitsressorts bei ZEIT ONLINE, erklärt, wie der neue Hub funktionieren soll und warum er erst jetzt entsteht. Und sonst so?
