When I see the word "evolving" used as a verb, I'm suspicious -- corporate language often used to soften something with vagueness. But after reading this announcement, the substance is actually both meaningful and practical.

While I have mixed feelings about The New York Times's coverage of certain topics these days, this is one topic where their reporting has (positively) shaped events. They had a big investigative piece earlier in the summer about pharma
