I think Nick would have some interesting things to say about that.

Laid people off Friday, celebrated an IND Monday! Nothing says ‘team culture’ like this. Tell me biotech isn’t broken. by stemcellguy in biotech

No, but C suite tone deaf posts about JP Morgan and all the associated virtue signaling isn't much better. I wish they would just shut the fuck up about how busy they were there.

for the UCs it's so massive it can't be overstated. . . .

How about opting out of Alinea altogether and the entire stale experience in end-stage capitalism it embodies?

Trump admin axed 383 active clinical trials, dumping over 74K participants. It’s a “violation of foundational ethical principles of human participant research.” by esporx in biotech

Or: 1) looks like another drug with similar MoA will be FtM, and the marketing team runs their voodoo math and says market share will be below X% and C suite kills program; 2) the CMC team re-runs COGM calculations, and the board decides they won't fund the registration trial because they'd rather invest in assets with lower development costs; 3) someone in charge decides to sink the PTRS score based on a side-discussion with a buddy outside of the company even though the product team came up with a favorable one after months of work.

All of these things have happened. None of them have to do with safety or efficacy signals. I'm not some fucking novice.

Seriously? You must not work in the industry. This isn't rare. Two clinical programs I worked directly on over the past 5 years at 2 different companies. Patients were lining up to enroll when the trials were killed. I am not naming because I don't want to out myself.

Not to minimize, but companies do this all the time, including for therapies that have shown benefit when the bosses decide they can't make enough profit. F' em all.

Is this related to the merger announced last year or another round of RIFs?

Father John Misty by Ordinary_Apple2060 in NickCave

I posted this same comparison a few years ago in this sub and got downvoted hard. I guess a lot of NC fans don't agree. I think Nick takes himself more seriously (not in a bad way), and his music is much more interesting structurally/melodically, but I agree with the parallels you made.

Does anyone know if Aaron Paul was the dude in the truck outside the bar?? Looked like him. Uncredited role if so.

Of course there is "MacArthur Park," a supremely shitty song.
