EPISODE DESCRIPTIONBefore she was raising millions to preserve fertility for cancer patients, Tracy Weiss was filming reenactments in her apartment for the Maury Povich Show using her grandmother's china. Her origin story includes Jerry Springer, cervical cancer, and a full-body allergic reaction to bullshit. Now, she's Executive Director of The Chick Mission, where she weaponizes sarcasm, spreadsheets, and the rage of every woman who's ever been told “you're fine” while actively bleeding out in a one-stall office bathroom.We get into all of it. The diagnosis. The misdiagnosis. The second opinion that saved her life. Why fertility preservation is still a luxury item. Why half of oncologists still don't mention it. And what it takes to turn permission to be pissed into a platform that actually pays for women's futures.This episode is blunt, hilarious, and very Jewish. There's chopped liver, Carrie Bradshaw slander, and more than one “fuck you” to the status quo. You've been warned.RELATED LINKSThe Chick MissionTracy Weiss on LinkedInFertility Preservation Interview (Dr. Aimee Podcast)Tracy's Story in Authority MagazineNBC DFW FeatureStork'd Podcast EpisodeNuDetroit ProfileChick Mission 2024 Gala RecapFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Bayer is reshaping its pharmaceutical business with a new operating model designed to enhance collaboration and bring research & development and commercialization closer together. In a recent episode of The Top Line podcast, Bayer executives Christine Roth, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Product Strategy and Commercialization, and Dr. Yesmean Wahdan, Head of Medical Affairs for the United States and North America, discussed how the company’s Dynamic Shared Ownership framework is driving faster innovation and helping accelerate the development of new therapies for patients. The model removes traditional hierarchies, empowers cross-functional teams and encourages real-time collaboration across departments. Roth and Wahdan said the approach has already shortened regulatory timelines, reduced resource use and helped deliver treatments to patients sooner. By embedding commercial insights early in the research process, Bayer teams can anticipate market needs and focus on the greatest areas of unmet medical demand. The leaders said the company’s collaborative culture keeps patient benefit at the center of decision-making. To learn more about how Bayer’s model is transforming its pipeline, listen to the full episode of The Top Line.

As AI promises to accelerate drug development, a critical question emerges: can pharmaceutical manufacturing keep pace? In this episode, Martin Wood and Adrian La Porta examine how artificial intelligence could transform the entire pharmaceutical value chain, from quality control paradigms to facility design.Recorded as a preview to Bryden Wood's Accelerate Pharmaceuticals event on 25th November, the discussion explores fundamental questions about the future of drug manufacturing. Adrian argues that current quality systems are essentially compensations for our limited understanding of manufacturing processes - and that AI could enable a complete reversal of this paradigm through real-time, data-driven quality monitoring.The conversation ranges from the potential for patient data feedback loops that could reshape manufacturing in near real-time, to whether facilities should be designed around autonomous systems rather than people. They examine why continuous manufacturing has struggled to gain traction, whether digital twins could eliminate traditional scale-up challenges, and how distributed manufacturing models might reshape global supply chains.A thought-provoking exploration of whether AI can finally bridge the longstanding gap between drug development innovation and manufacturing industrialisation - and what it will take to get there.Send us a textTo learn more about Bryden Wood's Design to Value philosophy, visit www.brydenwood.com.

Most of us know the story of the Titanic. In 1912, the massive — supposedly indestructible — steamship sank after hitting an iceberg on its first and only journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Titanic remained undiscovered on the seafloor, somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean, for 73 years, until it was found nearly two miles beneath the surface. But now the ship might be disappearing again, this time for good. And the culprit is not another iceberg — it's something much, much smaller.

Have you ever wondered why your dog takes such a long time to sniff a patch of grass? Or why flies buzz around so sporadically? It’s because most of what a creature actually senses is invisible to us. They perceive their world as differently as we perceive our own. Pulitzer Prize winning science writer Ed Yong wrote a book about this called An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us. Join me for a fun conversation with Ed about the astonishing ways animals sense the world around us. From birds that navigate the open ocean by smell, to penguins that sense vibrations underground. By learning how animals perceive their world, it just might change the way we perceive them, and make us look at our own world a little differently.

Holocaust comedy. Dating app postmortems. And the raw, relentless grief that comes with being Jewish online in 2025. Libby's alter ego lets her say the quiet parts out loud, but the real Libby?

They examine why deal flow is increasing, why buyers are favoring asset purchases over mega-deals, and how drug pricing and compliance priorities under the Trump Administration are shaping decisions. They also explore how rigorous due diligence can mitigate risk, where artificial intelligence (AI) may streamline diligence, and why intellectual property (IP) mapping to actual products remains a recurring gap. The discussion closes with practical insights on building a robust compliance culture and navigating an evolving health care enforcement landscape. Key Takeaways Include: - Increasingly, buyers favor strategic, targeted acquisitions over mega-deals. - Policy impacts from the Trump Administration influencing deal strategy. - Heightened due diligence emphasis on compliance and pricing risks. - Emerging role of AI to streamline due diligence workflows. - Persistent gaps in IP diligence, including weak mapping to products.

Erin Silva, Ph.D. https://cias.wisc.edu/directory/17158/FoA 280: Organic Farming Myths and Realities With Erin SilvaI wanted to invite Erin Silva back on the show to hear about her continued work with farmers that are going down the path of organic AND regenerative. On the surface, those two farming approaches are easy to get behind: let's try to reduce our dependence on synthetic chemistry and let's try to build soil health over time while still farming intensively and profitably. But in practice, there are tradeoffs. To promote more living roots on the soil through cover crops, as one example, farmers need a way to terminate those cover crops and using herbicides for that is really really helpful. So I'm intrigued about how farmers are making these systems work and how scientists like Erin our doing the critical research to understand how these practices can work on more acres for more farmers. So that is what today's episode is all about, and for context I'll give you a brief bio on our guest. Dr. Erin Silva is an Associate Professor and State Extension Specialist in Organic and Sustainable Cropping Systems in the Department of Plant Pathology as well as the Director for the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at UW-Madison. Her research influences the strong organic sector that contributes to Wisconsin's agricultural economy, with Wisconsin second only to California as the state with the greatest number of organic farms. In continued support of these farms and the organic sector within the state, nation, and globally, her research and scholarly contributions continue to be directed in the broad area of the biology and agroecology of organic crop management, with emphases on cover crops, soil health, and genotype/ environment interactions. Dr Silva earned her Ph.D. in Horticulture at Washington State University.

Life sciences organizations are facing both intense pressure and extraordinary opportunity, according to Mark Sullivan, president of regulated industries at Salesforce. In a conversation with The Top Line’s Chris Hayden, Sullivan said companies too often operate in “survival mode,” focused on defending margins rather than leading innovation. But with the rise of AI and agentic technologies, he said, the industry is poised for a transformation that could reshape how drugs are developed, trials conducted and patient data used — all at greater speed and lower cost. Sullivan emphasized that this new era requires rethinking how companies engage with stakeholders. Instead of distant, one-way interactions, he said, agentic AI enables dynamic, conversational relationships that improve satisfaction and generate actionable insights. Salesforce, he noted, is expanding beyond its CRM roots to help life science enterprises become “agentic” organizations — integrating secure, compliant AI systems across finance, HR and supply chains. With data security and trust at the core, Sullivan called on leaders to look beyond software replacement and pursue true digital transformation for the good of patients and the industry alike.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today it's typically far less work to find and purchase spices you want, but just because they're no longer starting wars that upend nations doesn't mean they're any less important.

Investing in health and science research isn't just about curing diseases. It has huge impacts across society, from creating jobs to driving economic growth to boosting national competitiveness. Study shows that every $ invested in the life sciences industry generates $3 in GDP globally, whereas every job created in the life sciences industry generates five in the global economy. Life sciences are one of the most powerful engines of prosperity, yet many governments still underestimate their economic return.In this episode of The Ripple Effect: Investing in Life Sciences, host Dan Riskin speaks with Patrick Horber, President of Novartis International, and David Gluckman, Vice Chairman of Investment Banking and Global Head of Healthcare at Lazard. Together, they break down the outsized economic impact of life science innovation, from trillions in US bioscience output to China's meteoric rise as a global R&D hub. The conversation delves into the ways governments can support innovation with not just money, but through policy and regulation; plus, some of the best ways that countries can help the sector secure investment, talent, and long-term growth.This limited series, produced by GZERO's Blue Circle Studios in partnership with Novartis, examines how life science innovation plays a vital role in fulfilling that commitment. Host: Dan RiskinGuests: Patrick Horber, David Gluckman  Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
