The patent cliff and the price of access

(04/16/26 2:49pm)

The pharmaceutical industry’s looming ‘patent cliff’ is often framed as a Wall Street problem: Blockbuster drugs lose intellectual property protection, making room for generics to enter and causing company revenues to fall. But for patients, including college students who rely on family insurance, use prescription drugs themselves or are preparing to enter healthcare and biotech careers, the patent cliff is really a test of whether the healthcare system can turn the end of monopoly protection into lower costs and better access.

A Friday at the Boston Progressive Jazz Festival

(04/10/26 4:01am)

Boston is, and has for a long time been, a city of nascent artistic talents. Taking the Berklee College of Music alone, which graduates around 1,300 students each year, one would assume that a vibrant and expansive music scene would naturally follow. But, as it turns out, this assumption proves to be at best a half-truth. For as long as Boston has been a city teeming with the talents of clear-eyed and full-hearted college bands, it has likewise been the site of continuous struggle for performance and practice spaces, with most acts being confined to DIY basement shows or backyard gatherings.

Serve & Survey: The cost of forgetting

(04/10/26 4:01am)

Welcome back to another week of “Serve & Survey.” This week’s poll came from a conversation that started off casually but quickly turned existential, as most good conversations tend to do. While talking with a friend about memory loss and what it really means to ‘lose yourself’ (inspired by a late-night episode of Full House in which someone loses their memories, altering the way they interact with their loved ones), we kept circling the same question: How much of who we are is tied to what we remember? And, maybe more importantly, can you even separate the two? After all, certain memories play out the way they do because of how your personality pushes you to respond in the first place.
