👩⚕️👉 The month of July was a bumpy ride for stock markets, with big rotations across markets. Large drawdowns across major sectors were led by tech stocks, while sectors previously lagging YTD such as Real Estate and SMID cap biotech rallied. Overall, we continue to see strong underlying demand for healthcare companies, though markets have been uncompromising thus far this reporting season: “Deliver or die”. 🚑 Kieger #healthcare #assetmanagement #sustainability #impact #healthcareinvesting #stockmarkets

Sad developments in New Zealand's science sector. I understand several universities and CRIs are struggling already, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon. What perspective does this give to Kiwis considering a career in science and those whose jobs may be threatened due to funding cuts? I would not be surprised if this leads to considerable brain drain and long-lasting damage to the science sector in NZ.

Excited to see Merito Network on Messari's updated DeSci ecosystem map. We're Asia's first DeSci company to be on there. And a big announcement to come this week of two large funding deals for Japanese science in a vital health area... By the way, DeSci (Decentralized Science) is an emerging parallel scientific system improving how research gets funded and shared by letting scientists raise money directly from supporters while making discoveries openly accessible. It bypasses traditional gatekeepers by using tokenization to create transparent, community-driven research funding - so breakthrough ideas don't get trapped in bureaucratic bottlenecks, failed gov't grant applications, or paywalled journals.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for futures in UK government and I'm immensely proud to be working with so many talented people producing such an outstanding variety of reports and other products. All to help people think more strategically about the future.   I've got to start with my own team. Just a week ago, we published our updated Futures Toolkit (https://lnkd.in/dCzvEfFe), complete with a new case study bank and downloadable supporting resources like facilitator guides and workshop templates. This blog by Poppy, who led the project, explains the changes we've made. And this short video (https://lnkd.in/eRFPERN2) from the GCSA, Dame Angela McLean, outlines why futures is so important to policy making in government and how the toolkit can help. We've introduced some new tools that weren't in the previous version and sections on participatory and experiential futures. But we've kept all the rest, including the seven pathways with suggestions for how to combine tools for a particular purpose. Thanks to all the team, especially Poppy, Niki T., Tom E, Tom Wells; past team members Abigail and Sharon; Marcin Bryszak, Georgia Cairns and Mary Phelan from GOS comms; and Jonathan, Huw and the team at SAMI Consulting. This week our colleagues in the Foresight team published their latest report on the Future of the Subsurface (https://lnkd.in/egiG9Qtw). Taking a systems thinking approach, it drew together evidence from a wide range of sources (including over 350 experts from academia, government and industry) to set out the key current issues and challenges to subsurface management and presents three challenging scenarios. Congratulations on another great report to all the team that worked on the project over the past year - Jack Snape, Holger Kessler, Cara Nicol, Emily W, Matthew B and Julia Erdelmann, PhD. And elsewhere in government, the MOD Defence Futures team have launched the latest in their series of Global Strategic Trends reports. GST7 (https://lnkd.in/eH4teifQ) describes the future global strategic context and trends out to 2055 and includes foresight analysis from a thematic and geographic perspective and five scenarios. Great work from Colonel Joachim Isacsson OBE and all the team. #futures #foresight #futuresthinking #StrategicForesight #FuturesToolkit
