In today’s intellectual task workplace, the line between real productivity & “performative busyness” is vanishing Sadly, success often hinges more on projecting competence than delivering results, with self-promotion & AI amplifying the illusion of work fastcompany.com/91309087/the-o…

Interesting Fierce Pharma article by Angus Liu on Vinay Prasad's departure from the F.D.A.: fiercepharma.com/pharma/prasad-… The "Right to Try" is the law and shouldn't be a partisan, de-regulatory issue. Experts and regulators should consider if it's doing our patients justice or not.
