The fight over mRNA tech is on

Today, we’re going to get smart about two legal fights with big implications. First, we get into the weeds of the Mar-a-Lago affidavit. Then, we move to the world of pharmaceuticals, where a lawsuit could determine who owns the future of mRNA technology. And finally, we lighten up the mood with a round of our favorite game, Half Full/Half Empty. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Trump Mar–a-Lago affidavit reveals ‘handwritten notes,’ highly classified material led to warrant request” from Politico “Moderna files patent infringement lawsuits against Pfizer and BioNTech over mRNA Covid-19 vaccines” from CNN “Moderna Sues Pfizer and BioNTech Over Covid Vaccine Technology” from The New York Times “Potential ‘Ocean World’ Discovered 100 Light-Years Away From Earth” from CNET “For this firm, the 4-day workweek just didn’t work” from Marketplace “MoviePass is coming back. Its timing couldn’t be worse” from CNN We love hearing from you. If you’ve got a question, comment or suggestion, send us a voice memo at [email protected] or leave a voice message at 508-U-B-SMART.
