A Publication of the American Society for 102 Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics - ASPET Volume 51 Number 4, 2009 YEAR IN REVIEW As 2009 comes to a close, ASPET would like to thank you for your participation and commitment to the Society! With the help of member contributions, support and participation, we are pleased to announce the following accomplishments made by ASPET this year: New Website: 2009 saw the launch of ASPET’s newly designed website, www.aspet.org. The new design and functionality of the site have allowed us to create lots of new features, including a “President’s Blog”, where the President of ASPET shares his thoughts with the membership on a variety of issues related to ASPET and pharmacology. We’ve also improved some of our older features, including the member login pages. As we continue to develop the website, we hope to have many new fun and interactive features so be sure to check back often. Awards: In 2009, we awarded 57 Graduate Student and 23 Young Scientist travel awards at the Experimental Biology meeting, all supported by member and corporate donations. Membership: Our membership is holding steady in these tough economic times, and 2009 proved to be another successful year in membership recruitment. This year, we have recruited over 450 new members. Many ASPET members are taking an active role in recruiting their students, colleagues and friends into the Society. We hope to continue this growth and encourage greater interest in ASPET and pharmacology in the coming year. Journals: The ASPET journals continue to make a strong impact. This year, our journals were given the following Impact Factors: Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics – 4.309 Pharmacological Reviews – 21.936 Drug Metabolism and Disposition – 3.825 Molecular Pharmacology – 4.711 Molecular Interventions – 8.273 As we wrap up this action-packed year, we have many high hopes for 2010. ASPET is looking forward to expanding our membership base, reaching out to new members in new avenues. Our registration numbers are already up for our Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology 2010 in Anaheim, CA, and we expect great turnout with exceptional science. We hope that you will be a part of all our activities for 2010! Happy New Year!

    fall 2016 News and notes for alumni and friends Clockwise from top left: F&ES alumni and students from around the world gathered at an F&ES reception during the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Honolulu, Hawaii, in September; F&ES faculty, alumni, staff, and students participated in a Forestry Field Day in North Carolina in October, hosted by F&ES Alumni Association Board Members Dave Ellum ’01 M.F., ’07 Ph.D. and Alex Finkral ’97 M.F., ’05 Ph.D.; members of the F&ES Africa SIG at a dinner in September hosted by Professor Timothy Gregoire ’85 Ph.D.; and one-year master’s degree students on a Thimble Islands cruise in September with faculty, staff, and alumni. F&ES Spirit Day was initiated by the Class of 2005 after their 10-year reunion to honor and celebrate the wonderful things about F&ES and to continue to build their F&ES communities wherever they live. Their inspiration was their classmate, Laurie Cuoco ’05 M.E.Sc., who tragically passed away during the last weeks of their time together at F&ES. Her classmates say that Laurie was the embodiment of the F&ES spirit, and they are honoring her memory by organizing an annual F&ES Spirit Day and also by raising funds for a new F&ES student scholarship. From a potluck picnic/BBQ and campout at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in the San Francisco Bay Area organized by Alice Bond Miller ’06 M.E.M. and attended by 30 alumni/family members, to a group of alumni packing over 100 lunch bags for families staying at the D.C.

    THE INTERNET OF BODIES ANDREA M. MATWYSHYN* ABSTRACT This Article introduces the ongoing progression of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the Internet of Bodies (IoB)—a network of human bodies whose integrity and functionality rely at least in part on the Internet and related technologies, such as artificial intelligence. IoB devices will evidence the same categories of legacy security flaws that have plagued IoT devices. However, unlike most IoT, IoB technolo- gies will directly, physically harm human bodies—a set of harms courts, legislators, and regulators will deem worthy of legal redress. As such, IoB will herald the arrival of (some forms of) corporate software liability and a new legal and policy battle over the integrity of the human body and mind. Framing this integrity battle in light of current regulatory approaches, this Article offers a set of specific innovation-sensitive proposals to bolster corporate conduct safe- guards through regulatory agency action, contract, tort, intellectual property, and secured transactions and bankruptcy. Yet, the challenges of IoB are not purely legal in nature. The social integration of IoB will also not be seamless. As bits and bodies meld and as human flesh becomes permanently entwined with hardware, * Associate Dean of Innovation and Professor of Law and Engineering Policy, Penn State Law (University Park); Professor of Engineering Design, Penn State Engineering; Founding Director Penn State Policy Innovation Lab of Tomorrow (PILOT); Affiliate Scholar, Center for Internet and Society, Stanford

A framework, with an illustration of App dynamics in the Apple Ecosystem Michael G Jacobides, London Business School (& Evolution Ltd) Pg Contents 3 Executive Summary 5 1. What Shapes and Defines Platform Dominance 11 2. A Simple Framework to Define Platform Power 14 3. Applying the Framework: Lessons from Practice 30 4. From Platform Dominance to Anticompetitive Effects: Assessing a Platform’s Exclusionary Conduct, With an Application to the Apple-Tinder Relationship 43 5. Concluding Thoughts 46 References 54 Appendix: How often do Consumers Switch Away from iPhones? Michael G Jacobides ([email protected]) is the Sir Donald Gordon Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation and Professor of Strategy at the London Business School. He is Lead Advisor of Evolution Ltd, Academic Advisor at the Boston Consulting Group and the Chief Expert Advisor on the Digital Economy at the Hellenic Competition Commission. He has advised both regulatory authorities and corporates on digital strategy and competition. For this paper, he would like to acknowledge receiving relevant data and support in his analysis from Match Group. The views expressed in this paper are, however, solely those of the author. They also do not represent the views of the Hellenic Competition Commission. 2 Executive Summary The seemingly inexorable growth of the leading platform businesses coupled with the growing wave of complaints about platform businesses’ anti-competitive behavior has drawn attention to the conditions and strategies that give rise to dominance in digital marketplaces. A platform can impose itself as a necessary trading partner, and become a gatekeeper between its consumers and sellers, when these participants do not have alternative channels in which to transact and cannot viably opt-out altogether.
