  • Results After duplicate names had been removed, 168 individuals were identified who served as either panel or task force members of the DSM-5-TR. 92 met the inclusion criteria of being a physician who was based in the US and therefore could be included in Open Payments. Of these 92 individuals, 55 (60%) received payments from industry. Collectively, these panel members received a total of $14.2m (£11.2m; €13m). One third (33.3%) of the task force members had payments reported in Open Payments.





  • In academia there’s a pretty solid understanding that grad students need to be included broadly not just for their own edification but because they are the next generation of scientists and if we want the whole enterprise to keep rolling we need new generations.

    It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the tech sector. Typically upgrades in technology that allow the workers to be more efficient towards a task only briefly make a company more money than their competitors (limited to the gap of time where others haven’t made the same ‘upgrade’). If they all cut out low level engineers to tighten profit margins they’ll have to pay increasingly large amounts to a shrinking and aging pool of engineers who have experience.
