There's some evidence that subtype-selective inhibitors (many of which have been developed) might be better for treating disease, but those details still have to be figured out in the clinic...<br /><br />I got to meet Seth and David a few years ago. They were both very smart, driven, sociable, and down-to-earth. I am not surprised to hear that they've been successful both in doing science and in fundraising. Good luck to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-80023933839678880482016-02-22T16:16:57.275-05:002016-02-22T16:16:57.275-05:00I actually agree with your sentiments, seeing as h...I actually agree with your sentiments, seeing as how I eat thanks to the help of sales folks. My philosophy has been: the sales folks eat well, I eat well. (That's mostly true; that they are eating steak while I am eating burgers is neither here nor there.) <br /><br />I do get irritated at sales folks who tend to yadda-yadda the details of the science being discussed, or promise things that cannot be delivered. <br /><br />Chemjobberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932113680515602275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-77277038058248766102016-02-22T15:35:08.494-05:002016-02-22T15:35:08.494-05:00Raising money is for certain a skill I never appre...Raising money is for certain a skill I never appreciated until I saw it in action. The difference between (most, yes I'm generalizing) scientists and sales guys (it's almost always men) is astounding to me. Having seen good sales guys in action, it is a skill I never denigrate or have any illusions about being able to do well.biotechtoreadornoreply@blogger.com
