What do Gnarls Barkley's song "Crazy", iPod Nano, and ELRIG Drug Discovery have in common? They are all from 2006 (which isn’t just 5 years ago, but 20!). I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Christian Parker Novartis, Conference Director for ELRIG Drug Discovery 2026, on Keep It Science.

A patient's journey shouldn't feel like a battlefield .. as a rare disease patient I have learned the hard way that healthcare isn’t always easy. Not only is it about navigating illness, side effects, and medications, it’s also about knowing how the system works, where to find test results,

Communicate your science the way the brain remembers it. Stories activate multiple brain regions simultaneously, giving context and emotional weight to data. Investors retain narratives of discovery far more than raw numbers. Read here: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/032-the... #BiotechStrategy
