How Notion, Lemonade, and BambooHR simplified their security and compliance (Sponsor)

Dreading audits, risk management, and manual evidence collection? For thousands of companies that use Drata, it’s much easier to achieve continuous SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS compliance and many more.

“Our team spent between 500-600 hours preparing for an SOC 2 audit. That’s a lot of time taken away from delivering product. I expect Drata will reduce this by 60-80%. It’s liberating.” - Jonathan Jaffe, CISO, Lemonade

Drata is security and compliance on autopilot: Automated evidence collection and 24/7 monitoring. 75+ built-in integrations. Complete risk management solution (no spreadsheets required). Custom frameworks to tailor Drata to your business needs.

Experimental fentanyl vaccine stops the drug from entering the brain (2 minute read)

A new vaccine developed by a team led by the University of Houston blocks fentanyl's effect on the brain. It uses a fentanyl-like molecule which elicits the production of antibodies that bind to it when combined with a larger carrier protein. The resulting antibodies bind to both the fentanyl-like molecules and actual fentanyl molecules. The antibodies leave all other molecules alone, making other types of opioids still effective for pain relief.
