biotechs and govt officials have a responsibility to clear up to investors the nature of protected intellectual property
let's hope they do so
at one point last week, biotech mktcap might have exceeded Old Economy pharmaceutical mktcap
last week, questions were being raised as to whether New Economy biotechs would indeed begin to make a move to acquire some Old Econ firms with reduced stock value
I personally hope a practical medium can be achieved that protects the hard work, brilliant research, and ingenuity of biotech corporations
in 1995 I attempted to be hired by Genzyme, but failed
tried with Genetics Institute, and made even less progress
it would have been like working on a frontier
our society can be changed permanently, somewhat for the worse, but very much for the better, by straightening out the profit potential and public rights to benefits, from all this amazing work
just think, all of it is combinations of:
A adenosine
C cytosine
T thiamine
G guanine
I would like to see some horrible diseases wiped out
the day I was born, my mother's sister died of leukemia
before I was born, my mother's father died of diabetes
so I never met either of them
that Irish genetic pool needed some balancing
thank the Lord for Daddy's strong Iowa WASPy genetic strain
and with a pinch of Germanic spice
good to see you, Poet... but I will never reform
