[Just the facts maam]

Jadite, I believe you are correct on the sheltering of GVAX. Do you think having Dr Drew Pardoll (Board Observer) didn't way in their decision to sell to Aduro. He invented GVAX vaccines and is pretty well connected to the Cancer program at Sydney Kimmel comprehensive center.
