"The saddest thing about life today is that science is advancing at an incredible pace, and yet society struggles to keep up with the wisdom needed to navigate these advances". 👁
Yesterday I came across this powerful quote from #IsaacAsimov and found it "very Merck Healthcare comms". It is a reminder that scientific advances alone are not enough to make a real difference in the world. We need to contribute to make that society is equipped with the knowledge and understanding necessary to harness these advances responsibly and for the common good. Disease awareness is part of this mission, but our Young Generations Survey is too. Or our #EmbracingCarers program! Or our DE&I commitments (including Closingap). Or our projects and commitments linked to #Sustainability. 🗯
At Merck Group, and especially those of us in Communication, we are passionate about building bridges between scientific knowledge/community and society. We want to be a beacon of responsible innovation. This is what Asimov's words made me think of. 🛰
Then, by pure chance, I found in the exhibition of one of my favourite living artists, Luis Gordillo, the image with which I wanted to illustrate this thought... And it turned out to be very close to our colourful and vibrant company branding, don't you think?
Call it serendipity... call it a connection with other realities. Those of us who do communication spend our lives relating concepts, threading words, connecting them with images. And without forgetting that "out there" are people, society, patients, decision-makers, customers, employees... present and future. And that without knowing them, listening to them, it is impossible to orchestrate a valid and forceful strategy.
How can I put it? Together, let's harness the power of science, embrace social wisdom and contribute to a healthy future that leaves no one behind. Because it is when we align progress, knowledge and effective communication that true transformation happens.

Happy Monday full of strategic and transformational communication!
