Well, we shall see how easy it is to reduce the number of posts!--I have found that the internet, and specifically this virtual invesment club we have here on SI, to be incredibly addictive. Even though I know I am just barely scraching the surface, I cant tell you how satisfying it is to read some press release, sort through a biotech thread for more of the puzzle, and then fly off to the glossary of my text book to decode an abstract.
If what you have said before is true--filter out the scams, dogma and the hype, and then focus on science that remains...well, then this endeavor may just pay off years from now.
A big thank-you goes to you for helping point in the right direction. Thanks also for that list of names you dropped off.
By the way, in a few days I'll have sort of a first approximation/overview on Isis done for the new Cancer thread, please feel free to drop by and help assess the situation as it clarifies--I don't yet have the foggiest idea what antisense oligonucleotides are all about, but I'll give it a try.
