I can understand the current global/political environment against mRNA accounting for a 90% fall in revenues and valuation. But if the mRNA tech is still progressing and promising for a variety of ailments like cancer, then the company

A sad realization I had: - Well-run companies prioritize against a bell curve of core customers vs long tail customers - Today, many of us are inside that curve. Products are made intuitive to us - But many people (elderly) are not in the m

I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree with what you say about "disordered", the language is hostile. In a less morbid area, I feel the same way about ADHD - "attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder". For some pe
