Hi! We’ve generally been pretty cautious about broad community surveys at T2B, but anecdotal feedback around AI could only get us so far. This felt like a situation where broader input is genuinely worth it. AI is an area where our field would benefit from a clearer benchmark across roles and work settings. Yes, there are already surveys out there on AI in healthcare, as well as in marketing and comms more broadly, and those are useful in their own right. But what we haven’t really had is something that reflects the realities of life sciences comms and the specific tensions many of us are navigating around tools, policy, disclosure, training, resourcing, and expectations for the role itself. So, today, we’re opening T2B’s inaugural AI in Biopharma Communications Survey, developed through our AI Roundtable with Knowledge Partner Syneos Health Communications. AI survey goals:We want to better understand how AI is actually showing up across workflows, teams, and roles, from early experimentation to deeper integration. We’re also looking at where formal policy and day-to-day behavior diverge, and what the findings may reveal about how the biopharma communicator’s role is evolving across in-house teams, agencies, and independent consultants. My hope is that this gives our corner of the industry a more concrete benchmark to work from… Two key purposes of this baseline:
Share how you use and what you think about AI:If you work in life sciences communications, we’d really value your perspective. The survey is open through May 18th (so, if you’re in the middle of earnings, please bookmark this and come back to it later). It should take about 10 minutes to complete, and you do not need to be a T2B member to participate.
We’ll share the first public look at the findings at the Biopharma Comms Forum in Boston on June 11th. Thank you for helping us define the benchmark of how AI is being used in our day-to-day, and importantly, how our role is evolving because of it. Have a good weekend!

Hi! Burnout is often discussed as an issue for individuals to manage. But during our April Comm Convo, Beyond Self-Care to Structural Change, the discussion focused on the systems, expectations, and leadership habits that shape how sustainable our jobs are. Our speakers Arran Attridge (Attridge Communications), Nikki Little (Franco), Amanda Guisbond (Iambic), and Barbara Palmer (Broad Perspectives Consulting) discussed how burnout develops inside comms teams, why urgency drives our...
Hi! A quick reminder that T2B’s inaugural AI in Biopharma Communications Survey closes tonight. Take the survey We’re exploring how communicators are using AI in practice, what tools and governance structures are in place, where friction remains, and how the role itself may be changing. The goal is to create a benchmark our profession can actually use in conversations about policy, training, resourcing, and the future of the function. Thank you to everyone who has already taken the time to...
Hi and happy Friday! First, I want to flag that this is not one of those surveys where you can watch from afar and see what everyone else says. Yes, we have about 1,600(!) members in the T2B community, but we are calling on each of you to set aside 10 minutes to share your individual experience, hopes, fears, challenges, and expectations around AI in our profession. If we want this inaugural AI in Biopharma Communications Survey to be meaningful and instructive, we need as much data as...
