@mitoPR Congratulations!!!😀

@jsb_ucla Congratulations Jessica!!! So well-deserved!

[Joshua G. Schraiber @jgschraiber]

It's almost incomprehensible to me how much slower progress would be if it all needed to be done by for-profit companies who would seek patents for everything. We need a basis in basic science, which the market really can't support.

[Joshua G. Schraiber @jgschraiber]

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do
