New Brunswick, NJ - According to Anna M. Dulencin and Itzhak Yanovitzky, "Scientists and non-scientists alike have been surprised by the pace at which artificial intelligence (AI) is penetrating all aspects of life and society. Interest in the potential applications of AI and their associated benefits and threats has too peaked rapidly, particularly after the introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022, and is increasingly dominating public and policy discourse (Fig. 1, above) and preoccupying scientists across a multitude of disciplines and fields. Governments worldwide are struggling to keep up with the speed of AI innovations and urgent calls for regulatory actions."

National Academy of Sciences president advocates for a national research strategy to coordinate basic research

8/19/2024

0 Comments

 
Columbus, OH - According to Michele Hujber, "In a recent State of the Science address, National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt called attention to what she sees as an alarming trend: the federal contribution to basic research is stagnating while industry funding is rising. The federal share of U.S. spending on basic research, she said, was down from about 60% in 2011 to 40% in 2021. The fall is mostly the result of a sharp increase in basic research funding from industry (see this SSTI article and this National Science Board report for more details on this topic)."

Columbus, OH - According to Casey Nemecek, "Balancing innovation and equity is a perennial challenge in economic development. Neil Lee’s newest book, Innovation for the Masses: How to Share the Benefits of the High-Tech Economy, tackles this issue head-on, arguing that innovation and equity are not mutually exclusive but can—and should—be pursued in tandem. For our readers, this may seem an obvious point, but innovation’s track record suggests otherwise. Lee’s thorough examination provides valuable insights into how to achieve this equilibrium."

Comprehensive Measurement of Biopharmaceutical R&D Investment

8/19/2024

0 Comments

 
Washington DC - ​Research and development(R&D)investment in the biopharmaceutical industry drives the discovery of new drugs to address unmet medical needs and improve patient outcomes. Conventional understanding of the magnitude, intensity and productivity of R&D investment in the biopharmaceutical ecosystem is predominantly based on survey data from large, publicly listed biopharmaceutical companies (see Related links). Such measures provide an incomplete picture of the funding landscape because they ignore R&D investments made by smaller public commercial companies, development-stage public companies that have no commercial products and private companies, all of which have become increasingly important to the drug development ecosystem.
