You were invited to our Q4/2024 Townhall, where we explored our future organization based on what has been agreed upon until then. Updates from our Leadership Team included insights from the PH Strategy Summit, which did initiate discussions on our financials and the strategic mid- and long-term outcomes for Pharma. Additionally, we reflected on the results of the Ownership Pulse (formerly known as Employee Voice), discussed further considerations, and allocated time for a Q&A session. This token serves as appreciation for and proof of your participation.

Ludwig Haberlandt (1885-1932) was an Austrian physiologist recognized as The Father of Hormonal Contraception due to his pioneering research into the hormonal regulation of fertility. In the early 20th century, Haberlandt's work laid the foundational principles for the development of the birth control pill, marking a monumental shift in reproductive health and gender equality. Haberlandt first conceptualized hormonal contraception in 1921, positing that it was possible to prevent pregnancy by administering extracts from the ovaries and placenta in rabbits, demonstrating that these injections could temporarily inhibit ovulation. Although his initial findings were met with skepticism and resistance, they introduced the idea that controlling fertility could be achieved through hormonal manipulation. The significance of Haberlandt's discoveries cannot be overstated. By establishing the hormonal basis for contraception, he paved the way for the development of the oral contraceptive pill, which was introduced to the public in the 1960s. This innovation has had profound implications for women's rights, allowing women greater control over their bodies and reproductive choices, facilitating participation in the workforce, and contributing to societal shifts towards gender equality. Haberlandt's contributions were not widely recognized during his lifetime. He was far ahead of his time. Rest in peace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Haberlandt Art&Text supported by ChatGPT.

Change Your Password Day is a crucial initiative that underscores the significance of cybersecurity in our interconnected world. Cyber-attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. A vast number of breaches are due to compromised, weak passwords. The most common passwords still include easily guessable sequences like "123456" and "password," making it effortless for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access. High-profile incidents, such as the Equifax breach or the attack on Yahoo, exemplify the devastating consequences of inadequate cybersecurity measures, affecting millions of users worldwide and leading to significant financial and reputational damage. Moreover, the emergence of generative AI and quantum computing introduces complex challenges in password security. Generative AI can be used to create sophisticated phishing attempts, while quantum computing threatens to break current encryption standards, potentially rendering traditional password protection obsolete. It's essential to acknowledge these challenges and advocate for stronger security measures. Adopting multi-factor authentication, using complex and unique passwords, and staying informed about cybersecurity trends are pivotal steps in safeguarding our digital identities.

Black History Month stands as a profound period of reflection and celebration, honoring the significant contributions, achievements, and history of African Americans. Originating in 1926 as a week-long observance by Carter G. Woodson, it was expanded to a full month in 1976, underlining the importance of recognizing Black Americans' central role in U.S. history. Throughout history, African Americans have made invaluable contributions across all sectors of society. In science, Dr. Patricia Bath revolutionized ophthalmology with her invention of the Laserphaco Probe in 1986, significantly advancing treatment for cataract patients. In literature, Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "Beloved" in 1988 explores the African American experience with profound depth. In civil rights, the tireless activism of figures like Martin Luther King Jr., whose leadership during the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom marked pivotal moments in the struggle for civil rights, has left an indelible mark on the fabric of American society. The number of Black-owned businesses keeps rising, currently 140k+. The educational gap between blacks and whites and many other inequalities unfortunately still exist. This Month is a call to action for all to commit to equity, inclusion, and justice, to continue the work towards a more equitable society.
