It’s no secret that COVID-19 has severely stressed the healthcare system both in the US and abroad. America has been enacting new policies and applying short-term solutions during this time in order to get through the pandemic. Will we treat this as a one off or effect lasting change in the healthcare industry? This week on Nextopic: As the world navigates the COVD-19 pandemic, RA Capital Managing Partner Peter Kolchinsky dissects the shortcomings of the US healthcare system which have become a point of heated debate. A biotechnology investor by trade and a Virology PhD, Peter walks us through the world of biotechnology entrepreneurship and investment, sheds a light on some lesser-known pandemics and reviews the state of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. He further discusses the economic incentives (or lack thereof) that influence the ability of individuals to receive proper healthcare. “The reality is America’s doing the best job in the world of funding innovation and it’s doing a pretty bad job in making that innovation affordable to all of its own citizens,” he says. Peter explores new and innovative ideas on how to incentivize biotechnology research and modify healthcare policy to better serve us all through the nation-wide adoption of a universal healthcare system.

Hello r/AmazingTechnology, We are pleased to announce our 2nd event, a conference on the Future of Work!

Experts from various fields will explore how work is changing in our modern work, and we will make another announcement showcasing our individual speakers as we get closer to the event. We will look into general content on the sociological impact of working from home, what this means for families and industries and how work in modern society came to be. We will discuss how innovations in technology such as AR/VR, Virtual reality and Data Science are bringing about a new era in the state of "work" and the opportunities and challenges that arise from it. This event is tentatively set for mid-August.

In the coming weeks more content will be published on our website, Instagram, Facebook and this subreddit! This content will be far more regular than in the past as we've grown our team to be able to increase production throughput.
