St. Louis was a brick 'epicenter.' Can it keep its bricks after the tornado?
The glory and grit of St. Louis brick has made the material a target that can fetch premium prices.

In today's edition of clients doing cool things, congrats to API Innovation Center on opening its labs at the UMSL. The partnership further establishes #STL as the hub for the return of R&D of active pharmaceutical ingredients, which are the core of every life-saving medication.

Worth a listen! Not sure about all Nixon’s points but good to hear youths & juvenile courts come up. Often when it does it is politicized, lacks depth, and not solution-focused. As @sarahfenske.bsky.social says it is often neglected. We could use more of this in policy conversations

FTC could be more amenable to grocery M&A under Trump, experts say
The regulatory agency will likely take a kinder approach to divestiture proposals by merger parties under its new leadership, one antitrust attorney said.
