Always a super interesting read! . Notably, amongst the top 20 CEOs, average compensation was greater than $30 million. Total compensation for the top 20 CEOs was more than $600,000,000. Also notable that there is only one woman amongst the top 20. via @AndrewE_Dunn/@endpts.
This has turned into an annual summer tradition of mine — analyzing compensation trends across the biopharma world . In today's story, I analyzed 475 CEO pay packages, finding the 20 highest-paid for 2024: .

'A 2023 analysis of more than 20 million deaths across the world found that hot days and days with bad air quality both resulted in higher-than-normal mortality rates. But periods in which heat and pollution are combined were even more deadly.'. via @nytimes.
Extreme heat & air pollution are a "double whammy" threat to public health, increasing hospital visits for respiratory, heart & mental health, says our dir @MaryRice_LungDr to @NYTimes. Rollbacks to air quality regulations threaten to make pollution worse:

Looking for a recent paper that reports on HRQoL via EQ-5D-5L/3L scores, that specifically reports on the each of the domains/levels of the EQ-5D. Preferably in a chronic disease, and also preferably US-based (but not necessary). Anyone? @EuroQol . #healtheconomics #hspr #QALYs.

This narrative is dangerous and has/will lead us to poor decision-making about paying for cancer therapies. Important research by @kjmeetswrld (including @oncology_bg, myself, and others) has already shown this not be the case. #hta.
