It's also interesting there are so many foreign policy heavyweights, and many in a certain range on the political spectrum. I'm not suggesting some conspiracy, I just wonder why.
- minthd 11y agoOne big problem in the healthcare in africa, is the cost and complexity of blood tests. And we know lab-on-chip technology can fix that, but nobody is working on that, because of "business model" problems. But that's one thing a successful theranos could do, and foreign policy is important at that.
- XorNot 11y agoThis is complete misdirection though. It has no relevance to a biotech company. If the test is cheap and easy, then charities and governments will carry it into Africa. There's no fiscal reason to pay people with foreign policy experience, because it has nothing to do with foreign policy. Its miles away from being relevant to the central technology, and African charity is not how one achieves a multi-billion valuation.
