Excellent. Connect the dots. Ask any detective if they believe in coincidence.
If a financial situation follow the money. If it is passion follow the relationships. I am not talking about crimes in this instance I am talking about evidence of positive developments. If Missling has stirred the passion of Scientist connected to Merck soon there could be an irrefutable money trail that firmly connects the dots. Might one get ahead of the game and connect the dots by DD detective work as Lima4918 has done here.
Put all these things on a white board and make a diagram like detectives do. There are many other dots to connect. One example Dr Andrew Cole on the SA board of Anavex and Sage. A preeminent researcher in Epilepsy. Then notice that Anavex and Sage are connected also in the ERP Consortium. Now see if there are more dots like other members of the consortium connected to both Sage and Anavex. One might want to see if Merck is working with Sage and what that deal is.
Look at other relationships, passions and financial deals between the members of the Consortium.
The concept of the TV show "Person of Interest" is that with enough knowledge of all these connected dots one might predict a major crime in advance.
We can see some of the dots and there are more out there that I have seen enough that I see the ERP Consortium providing the framework for a larger CNS Alliance. It looks like they want to standardize the tools and equipment to use in the fight against CNS with the ERP Consortium. (Akin to Allies sharing Aircraft and especially communications- equipment like a Cobra Gold exercise)
Connect all these dots and I see the Consortium forming an Alliance to fight some of the most pernicious CNS maladies. ALZ, Epilepsy, Schizophrenia, MS, ALS as well as the orphans.
If this is true then Anavex will hold the keystones in A2-73, A3-71 (All weather All Purpose Aircraft if you will) in this critical fight. The others will provide other tools, financing, complementary drugs, sales and marketing, manufacturing and, not to be underestimated, political clout.
Welcome the Age of Alliances in Medicine.
Gone should be the days of infighting and competing for market share between Pharmas.
This may be the only way to win these important battles.
Let the ERP Consortium become a winning CNS Alliance and the process and strategy might be accepted in other areas of medicine and other critical industries.
Longer Anavex and the Members of the ERP Consortium.
