"What’s most important is that these models ensure equitable access to these treatments for any eligible patient. The tens of thousands of people with sickle cell should all have the same opportunity as Carter: to wake up one day and feel what it’s like to not be in pain. Equitable access is also what matters for the future of the technological revolution brewing in medicine. After all, what good are miracle cures if only the few can get them?"

This would be so amazing IF the government took heed as would truly support economic growth and be better for climate with benefits for all in costs saved too but will they support it? I fear the populist policies embraced by Rishi may not. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/oct/18/uk-infrastructure-needs-much-more-investment-say-government-advisers?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

but I don’t understand how moving *science discourse* to a for profit, invite only, platform is in any way compatible with the goals of open science and science reform.

am I missing something?

During the next Community Call, we will hear from @lonnibesancon, who has conducted multiple meta-research projects and written opinion pieces focussed on unreliable science or fraudulent data.
https://asapbio.org/event/november-2023-community-call-the-trials-and-tribulations-of-post-publication-peer-review

In response to Lonni's rigorous and scientific approaches, he has faced lawsuits and attacks from senior scientists.
The talk from Lonni about his experiences will be followed by a longer discussion.
