Carroll College will work with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights to assess and correct accessibility issues across campus following a disability discrimination complaint against the college filed last year. The first date of compliance in an agreement between Carroll and OCR will come soon on July 1. According to the signed agreement, on this date the college will, in consultation with OCR, assess its processes for notifying interested people, including students, employees and visitors, of its program accessibility processes and accessible elements to determine whether more actions need be taken to ensure that people with disabilities can get current and accurate information about the college's program accessibility processes, how to notify the college of barriers and the existence and location of accessible parking, exterior routes, building entrances and accessible routes, including, but not limited to, publishing maps or other notices in the college's documents or on the college's website, or the installation of signage.Â
The world's largest vaccine business has been on the sidelines of the pandemic response. GSK is facing an exodus of US vaccine scientists, with several dozen leaving in the past year. Former GSK employees expressed frustration with the company's bureaucracy and pandemic response. On a mild day in December 2016, GlaxoSmithKline executives snipped an orange ribbon, ushering in what they hoped would be a new chapter for the pharmaceutical giant. GSK had just helped the world respond to the viral scares of H1N1 and Ebola, and its leaders envisioned growing their swanky vaccine-research center in suburban Rockville, Maryland, into a biopreparedness powerhouse, equipped with the research talent and manufacturing might to stop pandemics in their tracks.
Total funding: $110 million, according to Crunchbase. What it does: Clubhouse is an audio-only social app where users meet up in chat rooms to listen to talks, hear comedy stand-up routines, and partake in a slew of other audio-focused activities. Why VCs like it: Clubhouse launched about a year ago, joining a crop of fast-growing startups that have boomed during the pandemic. Its app offers another way for at-home consumers to socialize in groups while in-person gatherings are on hold. Clubhouse remains invite-only, but the company already has millions of users. It's raised over $100 million from investors like Andreeson Horowitz. The company has faced some growing pains as it wrestles with content-moderation issues that arise from live audio content. Its app was recently banned in China after it became a hub for political dissent. It also faces new competition as big tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook are working on their own Clubhouse-copycat products.
Here's what we wrote about this week: Just months after breaking the record for the largest funding round in the psychedelics field, Atai Life Sciences has raised another $157 million to continue to develop treatments for mental illnesses like depression, addiction, and anxiety. CEO Florian Brand told Insider the money will be used to "double down" on the company's strategy. Jason Wild had a pretty good year last year. His hedge fund, JW Asset Management, returned over 146% in 2020 — buoyed by significant investments in the cannabis industry. In an interview, Wild shared the six cannabis stocks he's betting on, including Trulieve and TerrAscend, Green Thumb Industries, and more.
What's the best career advice you ever received? One of the most important roles I've had in my career was working as the deputy CIO of the White House under President Obama. The hiring process took nearly six months to work through due to the extensive interviews, vetting, and security reviews. As you can imagine, my anticipation and anxiety grew as each day passed and another hiring process milestone was reached. The day had come when I was to inform my current manager that I had accepted a new job and would be leaving. As I shared with him details about the role, he asked me how I felt. Nothing can describe the feeling of responsibility, influence, duty, uncertainty, and nervousness that I felt all at once. As I expressed that to him, he responded with, “That's great!” I was shocked and pretty taken aback by his response.
