Our seventh annual STAT Summit starts in Boston. There will be news.

A few quick highlights:

Given the weekend's news of job cuts — some of them immediately reversed — at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you don't want to miss our panel on the CDC, which will feature Daniel Jernigan, until recently a top official at the agency.

I also want to make sure you notice a newly announced panel coming tomorrow: Casey Ross will interview Matt Might, an artificial intelligence expert who was inspired to focus his research on medicine after his son, Bertrand, was diagnosed with an incredibly rare disease. Bertrand passed away at age 12 in 2020.

"There are 70 families on the patient mailing list right now for a disease that eight years ago didn't exist," Might told STAT then.

We'll have more Thursday. One panel that is not to be missed: Tara Bannow will sit down with several top officials from state Medicaid programs to discuss how attempts to implement work requirements could affect health care access. Later, Executive Editor Rick Berke will interview former congressman Joe Kennedy III, who has called on his uncle, the health secretary, to resign.

It's going to be a big two days, and I hope you can join us in Boston or, if not, attend virtually.
