243: George Scangos' retirement, annual Covid vaccines, an Alzheimer's drug rejection

We also chat about the latest news in the life sciences, including an FDA advisory meeting debating the necessity for annual Covid vaccinations, and a surprising, but perhaps not, rejection of Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
