Also under discussion is Fierce's annual report on the highest paid biopharma R&D executives. This year, the list doesn’t look anything like it has in the past except for the fact that it continues to be comprised of white men. And the quarterly earnings calls are the buzz around the newsroom this week—but not in the way you might think.
