Mechanism of Action (MOA) questions in drug discovery quite often smack of either hubris (think complex world) or forgetfulness (think history). That humble approaches have quantitatively out-performed MOA approaches is reassuring, if that is that is the word, about our modest knowledge of how complex systems really work. http://lnkd.in/RT8Dyr View in LinkedIn

A great summary of the emerging light at the end of the tunnel. Young biopharma startups may have more optimism. At the end of the day, the Crisis may have brought some fiscal and portfolio discipline, which is positive. Leaner, more outsourced Pharma also has a significant trickle down opportunity for young companies. In particular, the emerging trend in companion diagnostics. http://lnkd.in/t4uQ-a View in LinkedIn

Innovative, imaginative and more of the same kind needed. http://lnkd.in/H3aJYM View in LinkedIn

A truly beautiful story of the power of modern science, and how a computer guy played a key role, by analysis of large DNA data sets, in stopping a superbug. This reads like a novel, and if you have the chance to share it with young people, I believe it is a potentially life changing inspirational story. We need more success stories like this that are also so well written! http://lnkd.in/_vZaVM View in LinkedIn

An interesting read, and an insight into exactly how much the world is changing around us. Add this to recent BBC news that the US employs over 6,000 staff to counter "millions of cyber attacks per day", This is a true wake up call on many fronts: understand this new world and how it applies to your business sector, or pay the consequences of inertia. http://lnkd.in/d6552m View in LinkedIn

A hugely valuable discussion topic, with no really clear answers (for me), no one size fits all. Different cultures, different industries, call for different solutions. At the end of the day, a board supplies at least two things: governance (accountability), and fresh strategic eyes on difficult, and evolving, problems. Perhaps a menu of options for different business environments would be most helpful. For sure, the old ways of iterative board meetings must change! http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2013/01/the-best-approach-to-a-board-package.html View in LinkedIn

Here's some data to track, but not the only one. Angel funding, Corporate VCs, and watch out for Crowd Funding as it evolves rapidly. The VC industry itself is in for some truly disruptive innovation! http://www.cbinsights.com/blog/trends/venture-capital-2012-report View in LinkedIn
