Was I dismissive of Maria's research? It's fine to form an opinion, I was offering a deeper connection because I'm always open to learning from others. My objections to crowdsourcing and aggregating information about drug dev

Here's the really big kicker that hits me in the face as I look at the leadership team of Theranos. It's a descriptive statement about the company: Nobody on Theranos's board has a pharma, hematology, research, or diagnostics

My molecular biologist friend's comment on this is pretty on-point, so I though it was worth sharing: This is one of the first gene therapy studies I've seen that didn't end with "but we accidentally gave our subjects ag
