The Alzheimer’s drug candidate in trials made a splash in many papers earlier this week so could turn up again in the Sunday’s https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/nov/02/alzheimers-treatment-within-reach-after-successful-drug-trial-amyloid-plaques-bace1. These kind of stories always seem like a good hook to discuss the incredibly high failure rate for taking molecules from the lab to clinical trials and approval. The failure rates for Alzheimer’s drugs are phenomenal >99%

Subject: [PSCI-COM] BBC newspaper review

 

Hello all,

 

I will be doing the morning newspaper review again on BBC1 this Sunday and wanted to put another shout-out for any science-related/sci-comm news items that anyone thinks will probably get coverage in the Sunday papers?

 

It seems to be quite hard to predict what is going to be in (apart from the obvious: US elections, Brexit, etc) and got lots of very good suggestions last time. So thanks in advance!

 

Stu
