@paulg Check out Kollokium for something different. Their dials are insane!

[U.S. FDA @US_FDA]

Today, the FDA is announcing its intent to take decisive steps to restrict GLP-1 active pharmaceutical ingredients intended for use in non-FDA-approved compounded drugs that are being mass-marketed by companies — including Hims & Hers and other compounding pharmacies — as similar alternatives to FDA-approved drugs. https://t.co/6TwnzTOmFl

[Dr. Marty Makary @DrMakaryFDA]

FDA will take swift action against companies mass-marketing illegal copycat drugs, claiming they are similar to FDA-approved products.

The FDA cannot verify the quality, safety, or effectiveness of non-approved drugs.

[Pearl Freier @PearlF]

Why is online pharmacy/drug compounder Hims able to launch & sell a new GLP-1 pill, claiming it's a copy of Novo's new Wegovy pill, w/out clinical trials/data & the FDA? Why do Novo & Lilly have to get FDA approval when Hims doesn't? Here's the story about Hims' announcement:

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

France is committed to the sovereignty and independence of nations, in Europe and elsewhere. This guides our choices. It underpins our commitment to the United Nations and to its Charter.

It is on this basis that we support, and will continue to support Ukraine and that we have built a coalition of the willing for a robust and lasting peace, to defend these principles and our security.

It is also on this basis that we decided to take part in the exercise organized by Denmark in Greenland. We fully assume this decision, because security in the Arctic and at the outer edges of our Europe is at stake.

No intimidation or threat will influence us—neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations.

Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner should they be confirmed. We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld.

It is in this spirit that I will engage with our European partners.

Absolutely horrible day for patients/families with Alzheimer’s….

1st, GLP-1, now anti-Tau Mab. 2 of more promising approaches.

Shows, again, how challenging it is to advance new Rx & why there must be a strong reward for the innovators and investors that deploy risk capital!

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Traitor?

Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

I think about this almost every day

[Works in Progress @WorksInProgMag]

Madrid’s metro was 71 miles long in 1995. That would be the world’s 51st longest today, reasonable considering Madrid is the 57th largest city by population.

Yet over 12 years, the metro would ~3x in length at costs much lower than was thought possible. Here’s how they did it🧵

Let’s not go back to the time before vaccines.

[Martin Shkreli @MartinShkreli]

We simply can't let RFK get into @US_FDA. Period. Full Stop. He is dangerous. The FDA is one of the few non-partisan agencies that does a great job. RFK will try to fix what is not broken.

Makes sense that Ireland is prioritising *checks notes* the Donnybrook Lawn Tennis Club not being overlooked ahead of 225 future students.

Delighted to confirm I have received Government approval for Ireland to join @CERN.

CERN is one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research. The benefits for Ireland will be significant. Our application will be considered in December.

[Masoud @linguistMasoud]

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

[Neil Mac Aogain @neilmacaogain]

@John_McGahon Very sorry for your loss John
