Approved Again
After its approval in the UK in November, the FDA followed with an approval of the first gene-editing treatment for patients in America.
Immediately following that news, we heard the comically high, but sadly unsurprising price tag of $2.2M
Congratulations to the dozens of sickle cell sufferers who can afford it.
Terray Therapeutics
A little bird told us that during the renovation of Terray Therapeutics' website, they were specifically instructed to make sure the team was not roastable by yours truly.
Challenge accepted.
They lead with the following statement: “We’re not about hyperbole and half-truths.”
Well damn, that’s our meal ticket right there!
They've got a nice video montage of what appears to be actual employees doing real work (or at least occupying their real-life work environments whilst slacking off).
No cheesy backgrounds, no weird theme.
*sigh*
We must admit defeat. 10/10.
The question is who gets to claim responsibility for such high quality. The web designer or BioPharmGuy?
In3Bio
Then we have this one, who says they are putting the finishing touches on their website. Bet it will be amazing when it's done.
Only thing is the website has said that for the past six months straight. We think it's safe to say these finishing touches are not happening.
Verdict: Removed
Pulled Pork
Many biotech service providers have so many offerings their websites become a confusing mess and it’s hard to tell what they can really do for you.
It’s refreshing to find one that clearly specializes. In this case Pebble Bio are experts in perfusion. They offered organ models which can be actual animal organs, or constructed versions of them.
Or they can be an entire pig leg. (<--- Yes, that is a video clip of a pig leg in a box)
Don’t know about you, but if we needed some pig leg perfusion work done, these are our guys.
Virtually Pointless
AI is everywhere now, but let's not forget about an older craze – virtual reality.
Back before the scams known as crypto and NFTs, virtual reality was the next big thing.
Unlike crypto, it gained some traction in educational settings and gaming. (Maybe in some more *ahem* adult sectors as well.)
But know what's always great? When you combine an old favorite with a new one.
Because no one asked for it, presenting: AI/Virtual reality chemical structure design.
Wasn't eliminating the need for humans the whole point of AI? Why are we having a scientist move their hands to place molecules??
0/10, worst game ever
Another One Bites The Dust
Smile Direct Club is winding down after declaring bankruptcy. Customers who purchased their tooth-aligners are about to realize lifetime warranties refer to the lifetime of the company, not the consumer.
You know, teeth emerge naturally and sometimes they're not straight. Maybe this bankruptcy is a sign to all of us that we need to start accepting these teeth for who they are.
