MDMA Good?
Remember when dealing ecstasy was grounds for 20 years in prison? My, how far we've come.
These days, industrial scale drug dealers are putting out press releases when they land a big customer. This is some really, really wild stuff when you think about it that way. (Yes, ecstasy is still federally banned in Canada)
Know this - Narcos: Canada is going to be the lamest season ever.
NDMA Bad!
GlaxoSmithKline is in hot water after a report from Bloomberg came out revealing they appear to have had more knowledge of NDMA, a cancer-causing contaminant in Zantac, than they let on. The product was approved back in 1983 and removed from the market in 2020.
The FDA believes the quantity of this compound in the medicine increases over time, especially if the drug is stored in a somewhat warm environment. So if you or someone you know is still working through a stockpile of Zantac, maybe think about tossing it and switching to something new.
Team Roast - TCR2
Look - another one of those team pages where the pictures change when you hover over them. Scroll down to play around and see the management get noticeably happier when you point at them. (Management tends to like attention, so maybe that explains this common design feature.)
But wait - it seems the CMO did not get the memo. Not happy in his hover shot...not one bit. To his credit, he did at least pivot slightly whilst keeping his arms crossed and his face crosser. Better than nothing.
Good Luck With All That
Former biotech CEO/general shyster, Vivek Ramaswamy, has started considering making a run for president. Of the United States.
Gee, other than his almost total lack of name recognition amongst the general public, whatever could possibly stand in his way of getting the Republican nomination?
Guy must be getting real bored swimming in his piles of IPO money, because this is an unbelievable waste of everyone’s time.
To List or Not To List
Found a company we'd never heard of - XLCare Pharma. Or maybe 'company' is too formal of a term...sometimes it can be hard to tell how serious some businesses really are.
This is a predicament we often face here. So do we add this company to our directory or not?
Pros
-Giant image of a pill on homepage
-"teamwork makes the dream work"
Cons
-Atrocious copy, such as “Our Generic Pharmaceutical operates in the Pharmaceuticals business / industry within the Government market – Goods sector.”
-Person left-hand saluting with a Geocities-style animated flag graphic partially blocking her head
Tipping Point
This company does not produce any of its own products and we do not list distributors/middlemen.
Verdict: NOT LISTED
Must be This Tall to Provide
Nice puff piece from Biospace about a company called Enveda Biosciences. They’re working on nature-derived small molecule therapies. Not the first and won't be the last company with that business model, but the $68M they corralled back in December will certainly help the cause.
However, if you were hoping to work here, based on the accompanying picture of their team at a Salt Lake City retreat, you'd better be between 5’9” and 5’11” to stand a chance. Everyone else can eat it:
