Best and Brightest Forum on Medical Innovation

I was honored to be a panelist earlier this week at the Best and Brightest Forum on Medical Innovation at the Franklin Institute Science Museum here in Philadelphia. The forum focused on the serious challenges facing the United States in maintaining its global leadership position in medical innovation. The speakers, including Gov. Edward Rendell, former U.S. Rep. Richard Gephardt, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, and Wyeth senior vice president Joseph Mahady, offered insights on how the U.S. can maintain its position as the leader in medical care and how we can compete with scientists in other countries. As always, I am interested in your views on this very important topic and hope you will engage in the dialogue. DAVID NASH
