In this episode, we dive into the pharmaceutical industry's research and drug development side and the real threat that today’s access and affordability challenges and policies pose to innovation. While innovation often starts in universities with government support, biotech, and pharma companies take on the tough, costly job of clinical trials, development, and approval of new drugs. Investment dollars are limited, only the most promising projects get funded, with an expectation there will be a return. However, our current drug payment process and policies like the IRA have added new considerations for investors, risking fewer new drugs being developed. Without changes, patients could face the closing of our nation's medicine cabinet, with fewer new treatments available. This would be an outcome that would be catastrophic for all of us.

Antariksh Matters #1: Can India and the US Head into Space Together?— Aditya RamanathanIndia and the United States have taken a modest leap towards greater cooperation in space.Last week, the two countries' national security advisers, Ajit Doval and Jake Sullivan, kicked off the first meeting of the initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology or iCET. First set up in 2022, the focus of iCET was to enhance technological cooperation in defence as well as other sectors. A fact sheet released after the meeting outlined new avenues of India-US cooperation in defence technology, semiconductor supply chains, 5G, and space.  We'll be providing our take on some aspects of the iCET soon, but in this Technopolitik entry, I'll focus on the bits about space.Three steps outlined in the factsheet stand out. One, the two sides have agreed to train an Indian at the NASA Johnson Space Center, the main facility for training American astronauts. Two, both countries have also agreed to figure out how Indian companies can participate in NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) programme. Three, the factsheet outlines initiatives to increase commercial space cooperation and interaction between academics and experts. Let's start with human spaceflight. On India's Independence Day in 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Indians would be launched into space on an indigenous mission in 2022 named Gaganyaan. That ambitious plan fell behind schedule, largely thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. At present, the first Indians are not scheduled to go into orbit only in the last quarter of 2024. Two uncrewed launches will precede the mission to send Indians into orbit to test various parameters of the human-rated spacecraft.. Starting in 2020, four Indian Air Force (IAF) officers also began training at Russia's Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre for the Gaganyaan mission. While their training was spectacularly ill-timed - starting right at the onset of the pandemic - they nevertheless completed the course in a year. However, with Russia's space programme financially constrained and heavily sanctioned because of the country's ongoing war with Ukraine, India is clearly looking to diversify. While the agreement to train Indian spacefarers in the United States may have come too late to speed up the schedule for the first Gaganyaan launch, it is an important step in India's hunt for a reliable partner to train its ‘vyomanauts' as ISRO has called them. India and the US have also inched closer towards cooperating on lunar exploration. The fact sheet commits ISRO and NASA to bring together Indian private sector space companies and American companies involved in the CLPS programme. CLPS is part of America's expansive plans to return to the Moon sustainably. While NASA is to focus on some of the big-ticket projects like sending humans to the lunar surface, CLPS allows private companies to take scientific payloads from NASA and others to the Moon on uncrewed spacecraft. NASA's goal is to act as a primary customer for these private missions until they become commercially viable and self-sustaining.  By engaging India with CLPS, the US appears to have two goals. One is to find Indian customers for the American CLPS companies. The other is to involve India in the US-led multinational effort to return to the Moon. Much of this comes under the rubric of what the US calls the Artemis programme. Countries that want to join the Artemis programme are required to sign the Artemis Accords, a series of ten principles governing lunar activity. While most of these principles are innocuous aspects of existing international law, a few, like those that allow the use of lunar resources and call for ‘deconfliction,' raise concerns about the creation of de facto private real estate or even de facto sovereign territory on the Moon. By last count, 23 states including the US were part of the Artemis Accords. India has not signed up, evidently because it is concerned that the accords create a parallel legal framework that is designed to primarily serve US interests and impinge on India's own lunar ambitions.  If Indian companies decide to become customers or even partners in the CLPS, it will be interesting to see if they are implicitly or even explicitly expected to agree to some of the Artemis principles. The third important aspect of space cooperation outlined in the factsheet is a handful of steps to encourage greater commercial space cooperation and interaction between experts on both sides. India's Department of Space and the US' Department of Commerce are to lead a new initiative under the existing Civil Space Joint Working Group or CSJWG to “foster U.S.-India commercial space engagement and enable growth and partnerships between U.S. and Indian commercial space sectors.” While such initiatives may seem minor, they can help pave the way for Indian and American space companies to forge productive partnerships in a heavily regulated sector. Finally, the fact sheet also announces steps to make “talent exchanges” easier and increase interaction between ISRO and NASA personnel. While these initiatives don't address some of the gripes Indian private space companies have with visa rules, they are obviously intended to build trust between the two countries' national space agencies, which have long looked at each other warily. Biopolitik: The Promise of Gene Drive— Saurabh TodiGene drives are genetic elements of an organism that are transmitted to progeny at higher than mendelian frequencies (>50%). Gene editing techniques such as CRISPR–Cas9 have made gene drives extremely efficient in laboratory settings and have shown the potential to reduce the prevalence of vector-borne diseases, crop pests, and non-native invasive species. Research in gene drives, especially on mosquitoes, is being carried out by scientists at the University of California, San Diego, Texas A&M University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others. However, concerns have been raised regarding the potential unintended consequences, especially in terms of the ecological impact of gene-drive systems.Reducing the incidence of vector-borne diseases has become a technology demonstrator for gene drive technology. Mosquitoes engineered with gene drive systems can pass specific genes to the next generation at higher than Mendelian inheritance rates (>50%). This ensures that the target gene spreads through the wild-type mosquito population, despite some associated fitness costs. Gene-drive mosquito techniques work in two major ways: They reduce the population of mosquitos (population suppression); or modify (population replacement) a given vector population.Population suppression involves the release of modified male mosquitoes to suppress vector populations to a level which makes it difficult to sustain malaria transmission. Population suppression strategies are based on the inactivation, or knock-out, of genes which aim to reduce fertility or production of female progeny or are biased towards higher production of male progeny (which do not bite). In a small study, gene drive mosquitoes wiped out captive populations of mosquitoes in just eight to twelve generations. In contrast, the population replacement method aims to reduce the ability of a mosquito to transmit the malaria pathogen. Population replacement strategies are based on the inactivation of genes that enable mosquitoes to be effective vectors. For example, many potential effector genes have been identified to impair the development of Plasmodium parasites (that cause malaria) by Anopheles mosquitoes (the vector).The use of either population replacement or population suppression would depend on their relative strengths and challenges in the given situation. For example, population replacement can provide a level of environmental safety because it would not result in the elimination of an ecological niche that an opportunistic invasive species could occupy. However, it is a risky approach because the genetic modification will remain in the environment forever, increasing the likelihood of unintended consequences. To address these concerns, scientists are working on ways to reduce the risk of the unintentional spread of a gene drive mosquito and to ensure researchers hold much more control over their safe manipulation. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, may have found a way to reduce this risk. They have created a flexible genetic "hacking" system for converting split gene drives (sDGs) into full gene drives (fGDs) while reducing the risk of using the latter.Although gene drive technology to eliminate vector-borne diseases such as Malaria hasn't been commercialised yet, it holds promise to reduce the scourge of this disease, which causes upwards of 600,000 deaths annually, predominantly in Africa.Antariksh Matters #2: Reducing Space Threats, Round 3— Pranav R SatyanathIn the previous edition of Technopolitiik, we covered the recommendations from our discussion document for our OEWG. On a positive note, that version of the document was published as a working paper for the OEWG. But not all was positive in the third round, as we shall see.Disagreements among states must not shock us. It is exactly what was expected of the group. It seems, however, that the OEWG is widening the divide between some member-states rather than bridging them. More prevailingly, the third meeting of the OEWG also revealed that states do not agree on the working procedures of the group, something that could eventually threaten to derail the entire OEWG process. I identified two issues that could cause deadlocks in the final round of the OEWG, which will be held in August this year.1. Consensus about consensus: The first major issue that occupied the minds of the member-states was regarding the procedure of the OEWG. The issue of consensus arose when Russia and China protested the participation of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) during the formal session of the OEWG. They argued that since members disagree on the status of NGOs, no consensus can be reached; therefore, agreeing on the participation of NGOs is invalid. The Chair, on his part, ruled the participation of NGOs in the formal sessions as valid since no consensus could be reached.Russia, China and other states interpreted the Chair's move as divergence from the OEWG's mandate and, therefore, an abuse of the Chair's power. Russia protected the participation of NGOs into the second day, arguing that the lack of consensus about consensus threatens the future of OEWG, including the adoption of a final outcome paper.2. International Humanitarian Law: The status of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) was already a contested issue in the opening meeting of the OEWG. The contest over the status of IHL grew all the more intense in the third round. China, for its part, argued that invoking IHL would mean accepting outer space as a domain of armed conflict since IHL deals with customary laws of armed conflict. Therefore, applying IHL would mean that states automatically classify outer space as a domain for warfighting. Russia echoed these sentiments while also arguing that Article IV of the Outer Space Treaty (OST) already enables the partial demilitarisation of space. Accepting the applicability of IHL in space, in Russia's logic, would overturn the principles of the OST.Of course, the issue of the need for pure legally-binding instruments and the status of non-legally-binding measures persist between states. These matters might sound mundane to many, including veterans of the space sector. However, it is important to note that with no common principles for governing space, we may end up in a situation where no advancements are made to govern the use of dual-use technologies or the deployment of space-based conventional armaments. Resolving the debates about the founding principles of outer space security, safety, and sustainability is essential to achieve stable, universally-applicable treaties. Our Reading Menu[Twitter Thread] Why does chatGPT make up fake academic papers? by David Smerdon[Report] Controlling the innovation chain: China's strategy to become a science & technology superpower[Paper] Digital Power China This is a public episode.

In a distant future, a privileged ruling class lives in a city fueled by an invisible army of workers who toil in barbaric conditions. Yes, this is the far-fetched scenario of one of the most iconic science-fiction films of all time, Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS (1927). We finally discuss the most famous of all Weimar-era movies, and debate whether or not the mediator between the head and the hand really is the heart.Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.

Lynda A. Bennett, chair of Lowenstein's Insurance Recovery practice, continues her conversation with David Anderson, partner and head of Cyber at McGill and Partners, about changes to the London Market's cyber insurance policy form that significantly expands the scope of its war exclusion by including not only formal declarations of war, but also nation state-backed cyber-attacks. Lynda and David explore how stakeholders reach consensus on the definitions of such terms as “insurable events,” “state-backed attacks,” or “ability to function”; and how policyholders should proceed in anticipation of other insurers reacting to London's expansion of this exclusion. Speakers: Lynda A. Bennett, Partner and Chair, Insurance Recovery  David Anderson CIPP/US, Partner, US Head of Cyber at McGill and Partners

New technologies, economic shifts, demographic changes, urbanization, and climate change are global trends that have a significant impact on society and the economy. They are also shaping the way people invest their money. While these megatrends offer investors a great way to tap into new markets and opportunities, how can they be effectively incorporated into portfolios? In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Jeff Spiegel, Director, US Head of iShares Megatrend, Sector and International ETFs at BlackRock, a global asset manager and technology provider. At BlackRock, Jeff manages product, sales, and marketing for the Megatrend and International franchises.  In this episode, Jeff talks with Rusty and Robyn about megatrend investing strategy, the general guidelines for incorporating megatrends into a portfolio, and the top three investment themes that investors need to keep an eye on in 2022. Key Takeaways [03:49] - What is a megatrend investing strategy? [05:39] - The role of technological breakthroughs in megatrend investing. [06:47] - How demographics and social change fit into the five megatrends. [10:23] - The difference between personalized medicine and precision medicine. [11:43] - Why rapid urbanization is a topic of interest today. [13:08] - How climate change and resource scarcity are both part of the megatrends. [15:00] - What investors should know about emerging global wealth. [16:39] - How thematic investing has performed over the past couple of years. [21:05] - How iShares views megatrend ETF returns and risks. [23:59] - General guidelines for incorporating megatrends into a portfolio.

That's the name of the game in terms of the overall most important determinant of the returns in your portfolio." - Jeff Spiegel [25:41] - "The most thoughtful way to incorporate megatrends into a portfolio is to actually just start a portfolio or pick the megatrends in a way that keeps your intended asset allocation in line. Don't take unintended bets in technology, on size, in sector or geography just by adding those megatrends securities in." - Jeff Spiegel Links  Jeff Spiegel on LinkedIn iShares Morningstar BlackRock I'm Not Like Everybody Else by The Kinks New York, New York by Frank Sinatra Invest in Innovation with Thematic ETFs iShares Exponential Technologies ETF IHAK | iShares Cybersecurity and Tech ETF ICLN |iShares Global Clean Energy ETF XT | iShares Exponential Technologies ETF The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver Slimed!

“We're flipping the traditional model of what people think of as a carrier on its head”, says Aaron, a former attorney and insurance defence litigator, responsible for building out Accelerant's presence in the U.S.  Officially launched in January 2021, the team has grown from 3 to 45 and currently supports 15 ‘members' by providing capacity for their SME program business through a tech-fuelled risk exchange. “We're highly selective with whom we're supporting. There's something truly special about what we're doing and creating. There's another 7-10 members going through the on-boarding process.” Aaron shares his thoughts on the future of insurance - on distribution, CX, underwriting & pricing and claims – and how insurtech 3.0 will make it possible to underwrite more meaningful risk with better transparency, better data and better technology.  As well as sharing the traits Accelerant seek in new hires, Aaron talks through the opportunities for high performing talent and the advice he'd give to those looking for a move in to insurtech. “One day you might be doing HR, the next compliance or creating content for the website.

For business owners to make more money, it helps if they can make better informed decisions.  And though a P/L and Balance Sheet are very useful tools, for many every day business owners those two documents require a lot mental extrapolation to be able to forecast from.   And they hire accountants and CPAs to help them understand where their money went… what they get is a P/L, but a P/L is really tough tool to use to understand how to make more money.  What many business owners want is a simple tool that can help them understand and forecast the impact of decisions, before they make them.  Here today to talk with me about this tool is Rowan Eister, US Head of Business Development for the financial reporting and forecasting tool, Fathom.  HIGHLIGHTS:   — “For CPAs looking to build more advisory relationships with clients or deepen those relationships, Fathom serves as your all around toolkit. It opens up that revenue stream of advisory and improves your relationships with clients.”    — “Fathom was created with the idea to make clients understand their performance in a way that really resonates with them and that they can get involved with.”   — “Fathom is focused around design so the visuals are really at the core of how unique it is.”    — “Fathom takes those financial results and brings them to life in a way that is more meaningful than just that income statement or just that kind of spreadsheet of numbers that you may be giving to clients.”   — “Fathom's forecasting tool is going to evolve with your business and allows you to continue making strategic movements based on how things happen.” Connect with Rowan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rowan-eister/ Software mentions: Fathom 14-day free trial: https://www.fathomhq.com/signup Want to find out what options you might have for working together?

Elena has over ten years of experience designing and facilitating behavior change, adult learning experiences, communications campaigns, and employee value proposition strategy. In particular, she specializes in shifting employee mindsets and behaviors and stabilizing the workforce amid enterprise-wide transformation.

The two pull out actionable insights from employee data sets and design operational recommendations and communications to elevate the employee experience, often during times of great change within a business.

On this episode of The Geek in Review, Anusia Gillespie, the US Head of Innovation at Eversheds Sutherland, sits down with us this week to discuss what she refers to as the "New Big Law" market's inverted approach to innovation. In a market filled with problem solvers, sometimes the innovation we create solves a problem first, and then sets out to find the problem for this solution. Gillespie finds that innovation is disciplined and structured in its approach, but broad and creative in its thinking. Innovation definitely doesn't live in any one discipline. Innovative solutions might require technology expertise, but it could just as well only require professional development expertise or strict legal expertise. She's convinced that we need to move away from this type of anchoring bias to ensure that, in this time of rebuilding law into New Big Law, legal innovators finally design and implement correct and smart solutions. With the various professionals needed to identify problems, and create solutions, you need leadership, structure, a bit of fun mixed in, and a champion-forward approach. We dive into issues ranging from an overview of how Eversheds defines innovation to case studies of Gillespie's publication on smart solutions for lateral recruitment and onboarding.

It's not surprising, but is it really all that bad? Maybe. Our fellow 3 Geek's writer, Ryan McClead, was interviewed by the ACC's Rachel Zahorsky about all those innovation subsidiaries that have been all over the news lately. McClead thinks there may be more sizzle than steak, saying that he doesn't think that anyone is doing it very well, and that the innovation created on the outside, doesn't seem to be making it back inside those firms.

“Vision without systems thinking ends up painting lovely pictures of the future,” reflected MIT Sloan Lecturer, Peter M Senge. “It leaves no deep understanding of the forces that must be mastered to move from here to there.” Never has this quote been more applicable in the world of business than in the business of sport. In the highly-emotive world of sport creating a vision is the easy bit. However, executing on this vision is where a lot of organisations both sporting and otherwise tend to fall short, oftentimes because they lack a logical, systematic approach that aligns the entire organisation. In this podcast CEO and Founder of Kitman Labs, Stephen Smith interview US Head of Performance Darcy Norman about the process of systems thinking and how data can support it's successful framework. From this interview you will take away: - An awareness of what is systems thinking and how it can support a sporting organisation - A sense of where to begin on your own journey using systems thinking - The important role that data plays in building this framework  - The importance of using objective data to justify new rationales and remove previous barriers created by heuristics and biases that are ever present in sport - An understanding of what is the end goal and what does that look like For more information, please visit www.kitmanlabs.com or follow us on social @kitmanlabs

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky published on Global Research, June 25, 2013 In the midst of pre-Geneva II talks on Syria Professor Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization and Professor Emeritus at the University of Ottawa tells the Voice of Russia about the controversial role the Obama administration plays in the Syrian conflict and the possibility that the US Head of State not only cooperates with Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations but also supplies them with chemical weapons. In one of your recent articles you suggested that the chemical weapons accusations in Syria are fabricated. You said that “in a bitter irony, the evidence amply confirms that the chemical weapons are being used not by Syrian government forces but by the US supported Al Qaeda rebels.” Can you elaborate on this issue? If we look at various media reports, including CNN but it is also acknowledged in Israeli media, the rebels namely Al-Nusra are in possession of chemical weapons but moreover it is acknowledged that western forces are actually training Al-Nusra rebels in Jordan and Turkey and this is confirmed by a December 9 CNN report. We had subsequently the report of the United Nations independent mission which confirms that rebel forces are in possession of sarin nerve gas and the United Nations human rights investigators actually made a statement to that effect and refuted the accusations that government forces were in possession of chemical weapons. In fact what they said is that the rebels were in possession of chemical weapons. Then we also had a Turkish police report, which essentially confirmed these previous reports, the fact that the Al-Nusra terrorists who are supported by the Western military alliance, they were arrested with sarin gas in their possession. Regarding the issue of chemical weapons in Syria you have also said that “Obama has not only “Crossed the Red Line”, he is supporting Al Qaeda. He is a Liar and a Terrorist.” Other than the provision of chemical weapons to Syrian opposition, is there any other evidence to support the claim that Obama might be supporting Al-Qaeda? I think that we are beyond the issue as to whether Obama is supporting Al-Qaeda. John Kerry is directly in contacts with commanders, which are in link with Al-Qaeda rebels. We’ve got a fairly large documentation to the effect that weapons and money are being channeled to the rebels and that these rebels actually are on the US state department list of terrorist organizations. So, what I am saying essentially is that these Al-Qaeda affiliated organizations are not longer supported covertly by the CIA, they are supported overtly by the US president and the Secretary of State who is in touch with commanders of that terrorist force, in particular the main intermediary is a General Idriss who is with the Free Syrian Army and who is in constant contact with the rebels. But what I think we should understand is that Obama administration and its allies are harboring a terrorist organization which is on the state department list and that means that president Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry could under the US law be held responsible: And I quote the document of the state department “knowingly providing or attempting or conspiring to provide material support or resources to or engaging in transactions with Al-Nusra front” so that essentially what I am contending is that Obama is in violation of the Patriot Act, he is in violation of US anti-terrorist legislation and in fact the US government is in blatant violation of its own counter-terrorism legislation while waging a so-called war on terrorism. You can’t wage a war on terrorism and then provide support to the terrorists.
