The Milken Institute convened patient advocates, researchers, and industry leaders to mark its 250th anniversary by formalizing a transition from token consultation to active partnership in healthcare innovation. The gathering showcased significant milestones such as the $1.6 billion ALS funding mobilization and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's use of consented patient data to accelerate research timelines, while simultaneously drafting a Declaration for Patient-Driven Innovation to secure structural funding and policy support. Participants concluded by identifying critical barriers in rare disease data and regulatory access, committing to a unified strategy that leverages AI and coalition-building to transform patients from subjects into primary drivers of care delivery and research agendas.

Space Invaders: the entrepreneurs taking humans into space
Stu Witt, Enrico Palermo, Ben, Ellen, Sean Mahoney, Jeremy Voigt
Mojave Air and Space Port has evolved from a civilian airfield into the United States' first commercial spaceport, hosting a dense cluster of pioneering firms like Virgin Galactic, Masten Space Systems, and X-Core Aerospace. These entities are driving a rapidly expanding industry by developing reusable vertical-landing technology and radical rocket engines to enable high-risk flight testing and sustainable space access without reliance on traditional government contracts. While Virgin Galactic secures millions in pre-revenue bookings following a fatal 2014 accident, the collective focus remains on establishing a private sector capable of transporting thousands of people to space by 2030.
