BioPharmGuy
The inaugural season of the BioPharmGuy adult, co-rec softball team ended in a third-place tournament finish last night. Bloodied and sore, yet in good spirits, the team is already looking forward to next year.

Biogen
This being America, Biogen is now advertising the hell out of it's recently-approved Aduhelm. Their ads are a little laid back...almost meant to let you convince yourself you have memory loss issues. They often point you to their website where you can take a quiz about memory loss.
If you're like everyone, upon taking that quiz, you will probably be told to consider talking with your doctor about memory loss. It's ridiculous. How often do you fail to think of a particular word for something? How often would you forget you have a social engagement if you didn't have a calendar and reminders? If you do that ever, you apparently have Alzheimer's and should get checked out so you can hopefully take this $56,000/yr consumer product (which we will no longer refer to as a drug since it hasn't been proven to work on anything). It's alarmist garbage and (probably) only in America is it totally legal.
On that note, if you ever ask Europeans what they find most surprising upon first visiting America, these tend to be what they come up:
1) Drug ads on TV
2) People are exceptionally nice
3) The place is huge (i.e. cannot function without a car)
Maybe it's time we rethink this whole prescription drug advertising thing.
Phillip Morris?
Philip Morris recently bought an oral drug delivery company and this week bought an inhalable drug delivery company. They also have marijuana investments. Guess this will help in their quest to create some sort of oral powerhouse.
This might make sense if their existing business consisted of some sort of technology, but come on, they're in the business of addiction, not oral drug delivery. They didn't refine the method of burning leaves and directly inhaling toxic smoke - the original Americans nailed that down, like, a thousand years ago.
IPO planned
So many IPOs coming along near term - we have 32 pending in our database. It's a gold rush before the inevitable crash. Funny - Graphite Bio went public in June raking in $238M and it took them all of a month to hit the markets again and sell another $273M worth of stock. Can't blame 'em, but who's still buying all these shares?
Adamis Pharmaceuticals
Speaking of public companies, it ain't all gravy once you're on the NASDAQ. Here we have the story of some random guy who demanded a consulting gig with a public company, then when he was denied, he went and bought 1000 shares of stock (at less than $1 each) and proceeded to sue the company for who-knows-what. He is now attempting to oust the board. All that with no industry or public company experience. Gotta wonder what sets someone on the path of being a professional a**hole for a living, because this isn't his first attempt at this absurd gambit.
Asian Menus
No, we're not talking about restaurants, we're talking about websites. A feature that is almost never seen on US company websites, but has become a trend on Korean and other Asian company websites is to have all the menu dropdowns show at once when you hover over any menu item like this. While it used to seem a little backwards and annoying, it now seems like a much more efficient way to guide the user exactly where they need to be, especially when compared to those one-page, endlessly scrolling websites that are all the rage with western web developers, if not with actual website users.
At BioPharmGuy we don't have drop-downs, but if we did, we would probably order this buffet-style menu. (When's lunch?)
Lasso
With the 3:00 am eastern time premiere of Ted Lasso season 2 quickly approaching, why not take a look at the biotech company known as Lassogen. They're working on Lasso peptides, which are "naturally produced by bacteria and possess a distinctive threaded lariat fold that offers a 3D array of functionality for engaging biological targets". Can't go wrong with the threaded lariat fold. None of their products seem to have reached the clinic yet, but no doubt they Believe.

Vaccines
Well, it only took about half a year, but Sean Hannity and some others at Fox news are now trying to convince their followers to get vaccinated. We're guessing they finally did the math and realized when your viewers die, it's bad for business. Sad thing is some hosts are still firmly in the anti-vaxx camp and besides, pushing conspiracy theories for six months kind of creates a wall against a successful vaccination campaign. You reap what you sow.
Food Leftover App
If you're frugal, not picky and hate the idea of food waste, this looks like a pretty cool app for you . Basically, you sign up to take whatever leftovers a restaurant/bakery has. They load up a box of surprises and you go pick it up. Considering it's virtually free income for the eatery, it seems like they would be more than willing to get paid for their, errr, garbage. However, if you prefer chicken nuggets and fries for all your meals, definitely not for you. But thanks to our government-subsidized industrial food economy, potatoes, chicken & corn are already as cheap as garbage anyways.
Pandemic the Tonic
Most people probably would have expected pandemic restrictions to hinder well-being in America. Solitude, inactivity & loneliness are supposed dangers that sprung to the popular mind. But if you are to believe peoples' opinions of their own lives, on most measures, quality of life increased in 2020.
You can come up with any number of explanations for this, but the modern impulse to do too many activities is our preferred explanation. A lot of people probably like to be active sometimes, not all the time - maybe 2020 let them realize this. Nothing wrong with sometimes just being instead of doing.
