Every day we scan the headlines for the best items that engage the clinical trial ecosystem, workflow solutions, and more—all the latest news you need to know. Here are today's stories:

Meanwhile, in the New England Journal of Medicine, C. Joseph Ross Daval, J.D., Aaron S. Kesselheim, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., and Ameet Sarpatwari, Ph.D., J.D., argue a consistent approach is needed in how the FDA uses its advisory committees.
The CNS Summit 2022 will be held on November 17–20, in Boca Raton, Florida. Created as "a community of innovators and industry leaders who are not afraid to challenge the status quo," CNS was founded in 2009 to advance clinical development, focused on collaboration and innovation. Team Judi will be there!
We also hope to see you this September 13-14, in Boston, for DPHARM: Disruptive Innovations to Advance Clinical Trials, walking distance from our North End headquarters.

“We create a template so we can pull back the timelines and eliminate concerns around quality and risk—because everything’s already validated in the design.
Then we can work faster with no risk to quality.”
