From
ScienceInsider, the case of either a really dumb pharma exec or someone who was drastically misquoted or misunderstood:
"Seventy-five cents of every dollar we spend on R&D goes to fund failure," he told an audience of execs and dealmakers at Windhover's Pharmaceutical Strategic Outlook meeting in New York City. Creativity and risk-taking remain essential, Turner said, but the scientific fruit must "come at a lower cost," though he didn't explain exactly how greater efficiency might be achieved.
Is that what it's being spent on? Seems to me, Mr. Turner, that it's being spent on useless execs like you.

ReplyDeleteI think R&D must follow rules and behaviors of nature. Bio mimicry! I think solution is that! Let us follow behaviors of nature to solve our problems.
Quite possibly correct, but the trouble is, as far as I see it just like advertising you don't know which is wasted until quite a bit down the line.
