I don't think FHI received any funding from SBF's Future Fund. (maybe a few of the visiting staff did, though)

Full post title: "That time when a bunch of people all agreed to preserve each other's brains" It's crazy that we spend thousands on expensive funeral procedures (avg cost $7000) when people could be using that money to

Thanks, I included a footnote to elaborate on this. There's actually a paper on how Cephalon produces R-modafinil because they can't just directly synthesize one of the enantiomers. It seems the process does produce both enantiome

You're not addressing the problem area the author is looking at though, which is lead generation (finding new molecules that either have high binding affinity to a receptor and/or might be useful for a given medical application).

Cloning seems pointless to me - they will be ahead of you time-wise. You need to have a good case you can do it better, then it makes sense. Just be prepared to be called a knock-off. Differentiation is normally what people do even if its p
