TIME100 Health: Ivan Cheung | TIME

In the pharmaceutical world, where ideas far outnumber marketable products, executives adhere to the motto of “fail often, and fail early,” with the understanding that to do so requires the discipline to know when to cut their losses and say no. But Ivan Cheung followed other advice as CEO of Eisai, Inc. “The opposite is also true,” he says. “You have to have the discipline to say yes when everybody is trying to tell you to say no.”Cheung took a big risk in 2019 when he decided to continue developing lecanemab—which became the second treatment approved to address the root causes of Alzheimer’s disease—when data from aducanumab, which works in a similar way, showed conflicting results and experts questioned the approach. But Cheung’s team showed him promising early results on their drug, an...

Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangeroo Island: an eco hotel on Australia’s Galapagos

At the request of founders, James, and Hayley Baillie, the original architect of Southern Ocean, Max Pritchard returned with his team to recreate 2.0. The original Lodge, which was the flagship of luxury collective, Baillie Lodges, was devastatingly burnt to the ground in bush fires in 2020, bar a sculpture of a kangaroo which sat in the lobby. More than a decade on, Pritchard has taken the opportunity to install cutting edge technology, setting new benchmarks for environmental sustainability in the tourism industry in everything from rainwater capture to solar power. 45,000 biodiverse native plants have been propagated on-site and planted to form a natural buffer from the surrounding wilderness. And of course, there is vastly upgraded fire prevention infrastructure. Source link

Brits, Burberry and the Biennale! Inside the British Pavilion opening

Outside, a queue of smartly dressed punters were fighting for a blue knight on horseback logo stamp, and inside tuna tartare, artichokes and greasy, delicious ham-and-cheese toasties were eagerly passed around. Those who made it in the building were faced with London’s art honchos — Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A; curator Victoria Broackes; and Victoria Siddall, the board director of Frieze, all present. Plus, Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, the model and Italian aristo; bright young things Sydney Lima, Rhea Dillon and Isaac Benigson; and, of course, Burberry’s creative director, Daniel Lee, were all along for the ride.

TIME100 Health: Joel Habener, Dan Drucker, Svetlana Mojsov and Jens Juul Holst

Newly powerful weight-loss drugs became the biggest story in health in the past year—and Dr. Jens Juul Holst, Dr. Joel Habener, Svetlana Mojsov, and Dr. Daniel Drucker played pivotal roles in making those medications possible. The scientists conducted the early work, beginning in the 1970s, on glucagon-like peptides, or GLPs, that first transformed the treatment of diabetes and now that of obesity. As with many groundbreaking medical developments, it was a group effort. Holst, at the University of Copenhagen (where he’s now professor of endocrinology and metabolism), noticed that after intestinal surgery, patients’ levels of insulin soared while their blood-sugar levels dropped; he attributed the changes to several gut-related hormones, including glucagon, which is made in the pancreas.
