[OT]—Apropos to nothing in particular… An acquaintance who works in finance applied for a job with BIIB a few weeks ago. He thought the first interview went badly, but they nevertheless invited him back for a second round. I suggested that he bone up on BG-12 before the second interview and he did.
He got the job. He told me that knowing about BG-12 made all the difference in the world in the second interview even though he’s a finance guy. It’s curious how stuff like that works at some companies.
