For him it wasn't about money, though.
- blitzar 2y agoThat's Dr. Holland to you. Ain't a lot of money in molecular biology these days anyway.
- lukan 2y agoWell, if Dr.Holland would have invented a cure for Covid or a vaccine, there would have been some money I guess.
- moffkalast 2y agoI'm sure the company would've paid him a small bonus, and kept the 99.9999% of the profits from it for themselves.
- blitzar 2y agoI know it kills you, but guess what: There is no "Danny's idea." Everything that comes in here belongs to the agency. I give you money, you give me ideas. https://youtu.be/BnNV4_8izkI?si=Ptz0QCr6V01MOMpN&t=57 https://youtu.be/BnNV4_8izkI?si=Ptz0QCr6V01MOMpN&t=57
- astrange 2y agoThat isn't what happened to the people who actually did invent them at BioNTech/Moderna.
- iamben 2y agoMilo Aukerman of the Descendents has a PhD in molecular biology - there's a great interview (maybe in the Filmage documentary?!) where he's discussing a conversation with his colleagues who are asking "what did you do at the weekend?" and he replies "Oh, my band was playing Woodstock..." (or something along those lines!)
- lawgimenez 2y agoGreg of Bad Religion I believe also has some sort of PhD.
- lukan 2y agoInteresting, did not know that. Punks seem to like biology it seems .. "Graffin obtained his PhD in zoology at Cornell University and has lectured courses in natural sciences at both the University of California, Los Angeles and at Cornell University."
