While the first sign of the pandemic in many industries was an increase in activity, in the world of R&D jobs in pharma it was when nothing happened at all. The usual supply of clinical data simply disappeared as lockdowns forced people to stay at home and made normal structures and circumstances impossible. 40% of life sciences companies had to delay or cancel a study as a result of the conditions that were triggered by the pandemic and this has forced a rethink in terms of the way that clinical studies happen going forward.

Medical affairs is an area of life sciences that continues to evolve, particularly given the shifting regulatory landscape that affects the way that the real-world applications of drugs can be communicated. A 2020 report by McKinsey & Company suggested that this is such a vital area that the relevance of medical affairs be accelerated to improve patient access to, and ensure optimal engagement with, treatment. The report identified a number of key ways in which this could be achieved, including integrating more patient-centric healthcare by creating partnerships with a wider range of healthcare stakeholders and also focusing on targeted recruitment.

Being able to monitor adverse drug reactions is vital to the ongoing development of the life sciences sector and something that is a focus for patients, clinicians and regulatory agencies. Data is vital to this process - the collection of real-world data can inform everything, from black box warnings to drugs being withdrawn from the market as a result of pharmacovigilance processes. Today, there is a wealth of technology to make this system even more effective and this digitization is defining a new era in pharmacovigilance careers. From spontaneous reporting databases to social media surveillance, the use of digital devices and electronic health record monitoring, there are many opportunities to improve efficiency and accuracy in this field.

Progress and keeping up with the latest developments are vital to those in development engineering jobs, as well as organizations looking to expand and grow in the tech world.

The .NET Tech Community Forums are designed for all .NET developer topics and chats - users can create chats and collaborations around any subject that interests them. Updates are then received on a regular basis via the user's homepage or via email or RSS feeds.

Modular construction is a burgeoning trend thanks to rapid urbanization across the world as well as a rise in demand for building methods that are greener and more sustainable. In 2020, the Global Modular Construction Market was valued at USD 95.49 billion and this is projected to rise to more than USD 140 billion by 2027. As affordability begins to bite for many construction projects there is also a need to be able to integrate more complex design and this is where modular construction has many advantages. It tends to be not only a more cost-effective construction process but also one that is easier to manage and which can significantly reduce the volume of labor that is required on-site.

Wastewater treatment is a vital process, one that can have many challenges - and cost is often one of the biggest. Using aeration technology can have multiple benefits, whether that relates to performance, reliability or energy efficiency. Proper aeration is a crucial part of the process, as it will ensure that organic compounds are biologically decomposed. The air itself is, of course, a free resource. However, aeration systems can be incredibly costly, not just in terms of paying for the infrastructure but also the energy - new research has revealed that aeration can account for up to 90% of the energy costs of a wastewater plant. Different plants tend to have a range of different aeration needs and these are generally met either by surface aeration or air being introduced at the bottom of a tank, with the former often the more costly option.

October was a pretty impressive month for cryptocurrencies - the most well-known of all, Bitcoin, enjoyed a 40% spike and many others also pushed up to reach an all-time high. The Shiba Inu coin, for example, gained more than 800% during the month. Shiba Inu coin was created as a spin-off from the Dogecoin but overtook the original by a long way thanks to October's incredible activity. There's no doubt that Bitcoin changed the financial world forever when it was invented in 2009 and it now has the potential to dominate the balance sheets of corporate America too.

Times have been lean for everyone at moments over the past year but, as we come round to the bonus season once again, it seems like there is a much more positive outcome to look forward to. Tight talent markets in locations such as New York and London have meant that firms are introducing discretionary special bonuses that are designed to act as an incentive to keep hold of those who might otherwise be looking elsewhere for great benefits and higher salaries. Paul Weiss has already announced that it intends to pay these discretionary special bonuses, which will be received by those lucky enough to deserve them, on top of the regular bonuses for the end of the year.

Smart manufacturing is accelerating across the USA, as organizations seek to achieve greater efficiencies and explore the opportunities that technology and innovation can create. Key to the speed at which smart manufacturing is able to develop is the level of education within the industry. Two organizations looking to tackle this are SME, a non-profit professional association dedicated to advancing manufacturing, and CESMII – The Smart Manufacturing Institute, which together have formed a collaboration, combining their resources, to help businesses begin to invest more in the smart manufacturing approach.

Cloud computing and the Internet of Things there are now many more places where organizations might be vulnerable. For logistics businesses, there are three best practice principles that could help to protect and avoid an unnecessary breach. The first step is to ensure that security is being integrated into every part of an organization - this will require increased collaboration between IT teams and business leaders to push this to the top of the priority list.

Heart health is something that has been a focus for the medical industry for decades. However, now there is increasing research indicating that the long-held views on the role that cholesterol has to play in heart health might actually be wide of the mark. Landmark early studies on cholesterol laid the foundations for dietary guidelines that suggest saturated fat should make up only around 10% of total energy intake today. However, since those early studies, it has been established that it's not the cholesterol itself that causes the issues but the lipoproteins that carry it to and from cells - and that the narrow focus on low cholesterol as a route to a healthy heart might have been misguided.

Elon Musk has become a big figure on Twitter since he joined but using the social media platform to make investment decisions is not something anyone anticipated he would do. Nevertheless, Musk recently launched a Twitter poll that appeared to give Twitter users the chance to decide whether or not he would sell a large chunk of Tesla shares. However, it has now emerged that Elon Musk had actually already committed to selling many of his shares in the company weeks before he even mentioned it on social media. According to an SEC filing, Musk had actually committed to selling at least $1 billion of shares in Tesla in September.

The most recent fixed income outlook from Goldman Sachs asset management has identified an ongoing situation of changing landscapes and challenges as the pandemic continues to evolve.

Although employment news has been challenging in many sectors throughout 2021, the technology industry has seen consistent demand. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US IT industry added 8,900 available positions in September this year and 4,800 available positions in October. The market has continued to grow despite the obstacles that have been thrown up by COVID-19 - and, in fact, has benefitted from the widespread digitization that has been the result of the pandemic response. Many in the industry have speculated that the issue is not the availability of roles when it comes to positions such as commercial services jobs in IT but the availability of candidates.
