This is amazing to see. Congrats to @statnews, @caseymross @bobjherman and the editors and illustrators who also lent a hand.

This @Patagonia ad is freaking brilliant. Read down, then back up.

Welp, I'd say The Last Of Us makes a pretty powerful case for novel antifungals.

@DivaBiotech I think including Mrs. Piggle Wiggle refs in the investor meeting would be entirely appropriate. (And instructional for the investors.)

I'm getting lots of "should I get my booster now?" questions. So I'm re-posting this Substack piece by @dr_kkjetelina, which covers a wide variety of use cases. Katelyn says everything I'd want to say, except more clearly. I'd just follow her recs.

Tomljanovic shows her class in both the way she won and her post game comments. #SerenaWilliams #USOpen

I remember Borg - McEnroe. The match Serena Williams just played was amazing. One for the record books.

[Devin Heroux @Devin_Heroux]

Nearly 41 years old.

In a match that’s lasted two and a half hours.

Whatever happens the rest of the way, Serena Williams has put forward one memorable performance tonight. #USOpen

Not buying this. I drove a stick for many years, convinced it was "real" driving. Now my car is just a (very nicely appointed) conveyance. Would not trade the advanced creature comforts and safety features for a stick. Don't @ me. https://t.co/MwRBUqygw4

Truth. 17 is applying to college and has reordered the schools in his consideration set as a result of state abortion bans. Some great schools off the table bc of where they are.

Roe. Miranda. Gun control. Church and State. All dismantled in a single week. The single worst week for civil rights and liberties in decades.

On the WSJ Merck/Seagen story, while it's great to hear news about any potential M&A or BD, there is some bad news in there. It says Merck has hesitation about whether a deal could make it through FTC. It shows this is in fact a real issue holding some corners of biotech back.

Reading this thread and imagining if something like this would/could ever happen in healthcare.

I contacted @Chewy last week to see if I could return an unopened bag of my dog’s food after he died. They 1) gave me a full refund, 2) told me to donate the food to the shelter, and 3) had flowers delivered today with the gift note signed by the person I talked to?? 😭🥹
