Bernie, I am very disappointed, as I am sure Walter will be, that you didn't tell us ahead of time that you were going to be the "posterboy" on the cover of this week's Time Magazine. I would have loaded up on copies.

to Bernie Mc. Thanks for the reasoned response. I am a neophyte with Biotech but keep hearing that it takes 20 to 50 years for radical ideas and/or inventions to find their way into the commercial marketplace. Biotech is due and in some ways past due -as the article says -though as it also infers- the winners or potential winners are just not that evident without some knowledge of what is happening in the field. That is why I appreciate this thread and info from you, Henry and others. Also the products that Ligand is working towards really could make a real difference in treatment for many diseases which is exciting in itself.
