Hi Neuro. Hopefully Dr. Lippa can get some partnering mojo going at the conference. I've been wondering how he plans to fund the two Phase 2's he's been discussing for 2015. He has the Aurora funding connections, but some type of partnership would be great if there's an interested pharma out there.

Neuro, I was wondering if you think Targacept might have a chance for a turnaround? I see the AstraZeneca partnership has ended, but Targacept has approx $90 mil in cash and no debt, so perhaps there is the potential for a recovery? Looking at the 10-Q, it appears that most of their nicotinic programs will not be pursued further, other than an early one for diabetic gastroparesis. But do you see them perhaps in-licensing or otherwise acquiring some non-nicotinic programs? Thanks for any insights.
