The Senate confirmed Dr. Erica Schwartz to lead the CDC after she declined to say whether she would defend the agency's science against political pressure. That evasiveness was not a flaw in her candidacy, it was the mechanism that made her confirmable.
A new analysis finds that exempting orphan drugs from Medicare's drug-pricing pilots would erase most of their savings. The paradox unwinds once you see that the orphan label, meant for tiny markets, now also covers blockbusters like Keytruda.

Yellow.ai is going public via SPAC with a plan to acquire business-process outsourcing firms and automate them rather than sell software to them. The inversion of the normal software playbook is a sharp bet about where AI's value gets captured in a labor-heavy services market, and a genuinely risky one.
