Hmmmm...remember alphapuppy’s post about a middle-age man he saw and met at June’s ASCO, and had a small talk... not an oncologist and is from Philadelphia could it be Michael McNally? Who is Merck’s President of Global Vaccines and his Linkedln shows Greater Philadelphia area.
“Yes I agree. I think you might be onto something.
Where I was sitting, I noticed an executive appearing middle aged man who had 3 or 4 young personal assistants with him come in and sit in the front row.
Once he sat down, before the talk, he immediately got up when he saw Linda and it was fairly obvious that they knew each other and he went over and briefly talked with her and shook her hand.
Since he was sitting close to me I asked him where he practiced because I initially thought he might be an oncologist. He said that he worked in Philadelphia.
Tonight after reading your post, I did a Google search and interestingly there quite a few Big Pharma in Philadelphia including Merck and Glaxo And Johnson and Johnson among others.
Also I noticed that he took a photo of every single slide that was presented. And his assistants were actively taking notes.
After the talk he spoke with Dr. Bosch so I assume that he had a research type background possibly.
Just my observations and speculations.”
....well maybe alphapuppy can confirm, the pharma exec link has a picture of him and does look like a middle age man :)
