Mike,

It's been an observation that - as happens with any process - removing one bottleneck pushes us up against another. With the "industrialization" of genomics we saw a bottleneck in compound screening; with truly high-throughput screening we realized we had to move back down the chain and do something about target validation. Some would say that this leads - both directly and indirectly into proteomics, and eventually epigenomics. And any well-trained process engineer can point to several next bottlenecks; it's no different than making unleaded gasoline.

intertwined, nonlinear, stochastic interactions exhibiting quasi-stationary states far from thermodynamic equilibrium

Typical Harvard talk. Here in the Midwest we say, "complicated" or "complex" <g>

So now we go out with the stoller and look at trees

Don't they seem to love trees? Perhaps its some ancestral Druid gene.
