In February 2021, The Conversation reported on a trial for a new weight-loss drug, called semaglutide, that was being hailed in the media as a “gamechanger”. Gamechanger is a word used far too often by journalists to describe things that are, frankly, mundane. This time, though, the word seems apt. In the past two and a half years, a lot of ink has been spilt discussing the merits and demerits of this drug – better known by its brand names Ozempic and Wegovy – including in The Conversation.
